    Go to the Dom (Cathedral) go up the steeple there and view the city, go for a walk along the Rhine. I think the big modern building next door is the Roman museum. Visit the Chocolate museum which is just a walk along the river front. Go to SATURN which may or may not be the biggest music shop in Europe but it's a good store. Try some of the clubs and music venues around.

    Think about hoping on a train and visitng some of the cities nearby like Dusseldorf which is good for an afternoon or Münster which is a nice university city to walk around. Bonn is very close by train too and that has some great museums. It's a packed region.

    Get the cable car over the river and then walk through the park to the beach club and spend a few hours sippin Mojitos if you get the weather.There is an entrance fee of €4 I think but you get a drinks token for that, to stop people coming in spending the day and no money.

    As for saturn, our hotel was in the saturn building. Its a pretty big cd shop, think it is the biggest. Cool thing is you can scan any cd at a listening point and you can listen to the whole thing before you buy.

    Thanks for that advice, I have a few friends taking a holiday in Dussledorf at the time so we'll probably call up there for an evening or too as well, Keep the ideas coming!

    The beach club looks amazing, thanks for the info Slunk!

    Any good gyms in Cologne to keep me entertained while she is at work?

    The Dom as mentioned is a good laugh if you can make it up the steps in one piece. If you do go, I'd stop at the Church Bells level and take a break.

    If you into spa's then Claudis Therme is a great place for a visit. Massive Spa with Sauna's and Steam Rooms etc. Its beside the Cable Car on the opp side to the Dom. I was there in January and the Cable Car was not open.

    You could also get your names engraved on a Lock and attach it to the Main Bridge at the back of the Dom, there are 1000's of locks on it, if your the Romantic type!

    If your into Music the shop above is a good visit and of course MusicStore if your into Musical Inst, it is the Biggest Music Shop in Europe.
