Harry-Blum Square at Rheinauhafen
With a population of just over 1 million people, Cologne is Germany's 4th largest city. Cologne is in close proximity to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and even Paris if you take the high-speed Thalys train. The Kölner Dom (Cologne Cathedral) has always been the heart of this 2,000-year-old city and it's biggest tourist attraction. Expats living in Cologne enjoy Karneval, boat trips on the Rhine and a glass of Kölsch at one of the breweries in The Old Town.
For expat families, Cologne International School and St. George's English International School are options.
