Overview

Step out of the shadow of the great cathedral and dive into the beating heart of Cologne. This is not an ordinary pub crawl, but a sociological and sensory journey into the unwritten rules, historical rituals, and egalitarian spaces that make up this city. Find out why a beer coaster is your most important tool, why you get a cheese roll when ordering a half chicken, and how a simple 0.2-liter glass helped a destroyed city rebuild its community.
