The TV music stations VIVA, VIVA ZWEI and Onyx have moved to premises immediately next door. The Cologne film theatre is located a few steps away. • www.mediapark.de • www.cinedom.de Boat Trips on the Rhine The river offers several ways for visitors to Cologne to explore the city: A panoramic round trip by boat offers a fantastic overview of the sights of Cologne while allowing visitors to admire the wonderful, world- famous panorama of Cologne's Old Town. The newly designed Rheinauhafen docks are a particularly special highlight. The historical dockland quarter of Cologne now boasts a new shopping strip with numerous galleries and cafés. A little further north up the river, a relatively new tradition reflects the romantic effect of the Rhine. For over three years, couples have been hanging padlocks on the Hohen- zollern bridge as a sign of their love and then throwing the key into the Rhine. More than 40,000 locks now adorn the iron bridge. • www.koelntourismus.de • www.koelntourist.net • www.k-d.com Cologne Sights & Culture 4 5
