The Opera House is currently undergoing restoration work and performances are being held at “Oper Köln am Dom” which is located right on the banks of the Rhine river. There are 13 other theatres in Cologne with everything from comedy to traditional puppet theatre. The newly built waterfront Rheinauhafen district also has restaurants, shops and galleries to fascinate for hours and for literally the high point of your stay, try out the 50 year old cable car which was the first cable car in Europe to cross a river.
