Köln gay cruising bar

Our gay travel guide to Cologne has everything you need to know about the city's invigorating gay scene including the leading gay bars, clubs, saunas, restaurants, hotels, and more.

With art, literature, and music bursting from every street corner, anyone with any creative inclination would find it hard not to be inspired. It's also a university town, so expect to see lots of young crowds in their early 20s, wandering around with big eyes filled with dreams and aspirations. This could mainly be due to the number of caffeine millennials are drinking these days thou
