Top Cologne Fashion Tours in 2026

Visitors unfamiliar with Cologne’s unusual brewhouse etiquette may find themselves confused by the system. On this brewhouse tour, find out how the ordering process works and—crucially—how to indicate you’ve had your fill. Visit four traditional brewhouses with a guide, and have time to relax and purchase a glass of kölsch—Cologne’s signature beer style—at each.

If Cologne is known for two things, its Kölsch beer and epic Christmas markets—you’ll get both on this tour. Starting at the second-oldest brewery in town, dive into your first pint. Then it’s off to several Christmas markets, where you’ll catch live music, peruse the vendors, and try mulled wine or more Kölsch beers (drinks are at own expense).

During the tour you will learn something about the history of the second oldest city in Germany, e.g. why a Roman empress absolutely wanted to give the city its name, why it took so long until the cathedral was finished, why all the waiters in Cologne have the same name, what we found right in front of the town hall, why the Schmitz family has a monument here has and much more. Everything is presented in an entertaining manner, with a wink and typical Cologne humor.
