Develop and perfect your language skills in Germany's fourth-largest city when you begin or continue your education with German courses in Cologne. Cologne offers a fascinating cross-section of Germany's storied past: within city limits, students can explore ancient Roman ruins, modern art museums, and everything in-between.

Marvel at the Cologne Cathedral's stunning architecture and enjoy its lovely Christmas markets during the holiday season. Taste the famous traditional Kölsch beer at a brewery in Rheingarten park. Learn about medieval and baroque-era art at the Wallraf-Richartz Museum, or go for a more contemporary experience at the Museum Ludwig. Attend an open-air show or concert at the lovely Tansbrunnen, located along the Rhine. Students at a German school in Cologne who want to treat themselves to a getaway have several excursions at their fingertips. Spend a relaxing afternoon cruising the Rhine by riverboat. Give yourself a thrill by checking out the rides at the spectacular Phantasialand amusement park.
