This go-kart track in Kerpen is truly one of the best kart tracks, which I was allowed to visit…read moreuntil now. The karts, the track (inside and out) and everything around it is truly exemplary and in top shape. The prices are average, despite the positive performance. I'll be back for sure!

Really nice karting experience, kind of archaic old TV with your lap times at the Start/Finish…read moreline, the track is really fun to drive, the karts are not bad either, faster than expected. The service is not bad, you know "german friendliness and customer oriented" but above average in my opinion. I went there with some friends and had a lot of fun, you can either drive for 12 minutes for 12€ or have a 25 lap race with warm-up & qualifying for something around 30€. Seems fair to me. I found the place really easy to reach and not far, that's and incredibly plus! Remember we live in the 50's so bring cash with you because they don't take plastic here.

This was my favorite Christmas Market in Köln. Everything is gnome and fairytale themed, with…read morehandmade items at most booths and a huge ice skating rink. I read to go to the markets during the daytime hours to avoid crowds, so we set off after breakfast to shop at this one. Due to wind, the market stalls were closed until late afternoon. However, you could walk through- so I took pictures of all the gnome paintings. Normally, I wouldn't have noticed these when visiting during a crowded time. The paintings had ice skating gnomes, gnomes cooking sausages, and gnomes drinking beer. No matter how old you are, you can't help but smile at the fun art. Thankfully, the winds improved and we came back to the market that night to shop and have hot chocolate. The mugs were super cute, and numerous designs were offered. I don't know much German, so all I can tell is that my mug has a little gnome girl who likes to dance. You pay a deposit for the mug, but I chose to keep mine as a souvenir. If you visit Köln during the holidays, don't miss out on this market.

I went here for a tournament, the Colonia Cup, which was contested by four teams - the home town FC…read moreKoln , Stoke City from England, Valencia CF from Spain and Porto from Portugal. The stadium holds 50,000 but on this day there were plenty of empty seats which, I was told, isn't often the case for regular league games. The stadium was built in the 1920s but updated about a decade ago and later given the corporate name that it has today. The bad thing about the stadium is that it's pretty much in the middle of nowhere, meaning no pre-game drinks in a pub although there are some stands around where you can purchase beer and also some food. You can catch the tram from downtown to get to the stadium, so that's quite convenient.
