About Cologne

Little fact for ya—back in the old days, brothels had secret codes, like red lanterns, so horny travelers knew where to crash. Sneaky, right? Kinda dope, too—history’s got game! I’m sittin’ there thinkin’, “What a lovely day!”—total sarcasm, ‘cause it’s chaos, bodies everywhere, loud as hell. One time, heard this story ‘bout a guy tradin’ a pig for a night—straight outta Bartertown, dude! Made me laugh my ass off, like, who does that?

Yo, gotta brag about the quirky neighborhood called Altstadt. Its cobbled lanes scream history mixed with modern art. You’ll find these old murals saying weird stuff like “Dream on!” and “Live for today!”. I always get sidetracked, wander off, and find this tiny open-air gallery by Schillerallee – freakin’ adorable! Honestly, sometimes I stop mid-stride, thinking "YEAH, baby, that's life!"
