Meet & Eat Cologne
Food heaven every Thursday
Meet and Eat is my favorite after-work spot in Cologne. Why? It's full of chatting and laughing people, great wine and delicious food in a relaxing atmosphere... That is just what you need after a stressful day of work.
The best part is: the market is held every week. So you have the chance to try the food from all the food trucks: churros, burgers, steaks, tacos or dumplings... There's food from all over the world sold here, so there is something for everyone.
But it's not just a street food festival. It's also a farmer's market where you can buy high-quality local food. Here you can get fresh meat, homemade pasta, cheese or fresh bread for taking it home. A perfect mix of street food and delicacies.
Especially in spring and summer, it's a great place to meet your friends, have a glass of wine and just enjoy.

St. Aposteln
Colourful frescoes in the old town
What struck me the most were the frescoes in the three apse ceilings by Hermann Gottfried. These powerful frescoes bring colors and dynamism to the church.
