Car hire reviews in Cologne

One of Germany's most important cultural hubs, Cologne (spelt Köln in German) is a city with many old churches and one of the largest universities in the world. Its roots can be traced right back to 1 AD when it became a military stronghold for the Romans, with many vestiges still remaining from that period. Its number one (and most visible) attraction is Cologne Cathedral, a towering Gothic-style architectural landmark now classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded in 1248, it is filled with religious treasures and other important artefacts, most notably the 12th-century Reliquary of the Three Kings made by local goldsmiths. Great St Martin Church is another must, the foundations of which were built in 960 AD on the remains of an old Roman chapel. Art lovers are seriously spoilt for choice in Cologne, with several world-class museums located in and around the city's old quarter. Housed in an ultra-modern building, the Wallraf-Richartz and Ludwig Museums cover an extensive range of European art with paintings by Rembrandt, Manet and Renoir, with the latter more specialised in modern and contemporary works. Near the riverbank in Riehl lies the city's Botanical Garden, which is alive with over 10,000 species of plants in an area covering 11.5 hectares. With your car hire in Cologne you'll also want to visit the magnificent palaces of Augustusburg and Falkenlust, as well as the popular Phantasialand theme park close by.
