Food Scene
If you want to have a great main dish and a very very sweet but unbeatable turkish dessert I advice you this restaurant. They have the by far best "Pide" ("Teigschiffchen" in German) and "Künefe" (sweet Turkish dessert with honey and cheese) in Town! Delicious!

One of the most tastiest spots to eat in the whole town. Of course you will get a lot of meat here, but hell, it is phenomenally delicious! It is actually "finger lickin good" as some might say. People say it's even better than in Turkey :) This spot can't be wrong. Enjoy!

If you want to enjoy your time in a very beautiful and old-fashioned parisian styled cafe visit the wine bar / Weinstube MORIO. It is absolutely beautiful and a bit hidden at the square of 'Schillplatz'. The prices are alright, too, and the dishes extremely tasty. Highly recommended! PS: If you like sweeter white wine I recommend the 'Colombard'.

The Café Pause is a beautiful and small cafe in the heart of Nippes and next to the train station on the Neusser Straße. The coffee is very affordable, the pancakes quite tasty and the shakes delicious. Also it is a great spot to get a nice healthy and saturating breakfast on any day of the week. Great spot!

Pizza, pasta and even more pizza :) Absolutely tasty due to the fact that the guys have a stone oven. There are at least three small "PIZZA PAZZA" shops in Cologne - and all of them make extremely tasty pizzas!

Absolutely great and tasty lebanese food. To be honest, there is another lebanese restaurant just a few meters away - the HABIBI - but for me, i t i s just tooo hip. I am no fan of that. I stay right here. The LEBANON VITAMIN is my tip for you: less hip - more taste.

As you see, I love bars. This is one of them! I love it since it opened it's doors. Just have a look at the big ELEKTRA sign and the old fashioned and stylish interieur. A great place to spend a night.

This is - to me - ONE OF THE BEST COCKTAIL BARS IN COLOGNE. No kiddin'! The problem with all the others is that they are mostly too expensive or too snobby. Honestly, these boys take cocktails serious and do not exaggerate - neither in price, nor in style. For 24 Euros you can make a so called "Weltreise" ("World Trip") and drink four cocktails of your choice. The BarFLY-Feeling included! :) This bar is a pearl!

Parks & Nature
Is it a hot? Either go to the Blackfoot Beach (some EURos) or refresh yourself at any other beach are at the Fühlinger See (for free!). The water is very clean and just perfect in a warm and hot summer day.

It is not Colognes biggest, but Colognes finest and most beautiful cinema. Make sure you go there way in advance and enjoy some drinks in the cafe/bar of the cinema! After the movie you can go to the Herbrands, too, which is next to the cinema.

Here you can find the train station FLORASTRAßE (do not mix it up with Zoo/Flora!) in Cologne Nippes. You can take two of the best street and underground railways: the tram line 12 and 15 which will bring you easily to the hot spots of the city... and back, too! Night and day. Check the travel times, though.
