    Pizza Arena

    Stop at Pizza Arena for a quick slice or a coffee. It is just a minute’s walk from the ESSO Station An der Kölnarena, so you can grab something while you orient yourself.

    Hohenzollern Bridge

    Walk 31 minutes west-northwest to the Hohenzollern Bridge. Arrive just as the sun begins its descent, casting that warm golden light over the Rhine.

    Brauhaus FRÜH am Dom

    Head to Brauhaus FRÜH am Dom, a traditional Colognian restaurant located near the bridge. It is the perfect spot for a late dinner as the city lights come on. The restaurant is open until 23:00 on weekdays.
