About this experience
Experience the history of the former Jewish Quarter in Cologne through a walking tour that includes visits to significant sites such as the Stolpersteine, Cologne Cathedral, Rathaus, and Holocaust memorials. You can choose from various tour durations to suit your interest and schedule. The 2-hour tour focuses on the Jewish Quarter, while the 4-hour option includes a visit to the NS Documentation Center (EL-DE House). The 5-hour tour combines the Jewish Quarter, NS Center, and Roonstrasse Synagogue. For a more extensive experience, the 6-hour tour adds a 1-hour private transfer to the itinerary. This tour is suitable for those interested in Jewish history and culture, but may not be ideal for individuals with mobility issues due to the walking involved.
