<p>Nrdsrb - I am going to Cologne, Germany in a week (have never been). I am staying at a Marriott there (this is a business trip) but do have a day or two open for sightseeing so I’ll keep you posted. </p>
<p>I think Berlin is more than “eh.” It’s a fascinating city, though very sobering.</p>
<p>I have no other advice to give, since I’ve only been to Dusseldorf, Berlin and of course the airports in Munich and Frankfurt but that doesn’t count for much.</p>
