Cologne's Oldest Hotel Lyskirchin


                                      
The Hotel Lyskirchen is one of Cologne's oldest hotels and was renovated in 2014.  It is within walking distance to the beautiful Rhine River and approximately a 15 minute walk to the famous Cologne Cathedral and City Center.

If you feel like a chocolate fix, don't worry, the famous Lindt Chocolate Museum is quite close to the hotel and is right off of the river.

The train and bus stations are conveniently located roughly 10 minutes from the hotel and will allow you to experience different parts of the city.  Cologne is a charming city and the hotel enables you to experience it all at your fingertips..


The Front Desk has 24 hour service and there is a cozy lounge area just off to the side of the lobby.
                               
The staff at the buffet breakfast was exceptional and very prompt. They definitely went the extra mile if you needed anything.
                                       
As mentioned above, this hotel is so close to the church, when you wake up in the morning you can hear the lovely sound of the bells.
           
Renovated Modern Bathrooms
         If you would like to stay at this centrally located hotel, please make sure when booking your reservation, you mention this blog. Enjoy what the Hotel Lyskirchen and Cologne has to offer!!

Taking On Europe Alone

Hello everyone!  Yes it's true, I have decided to travel through Europe and visit 5 countries in 2 months. In the days to come you will see a much broader, exciting, intense at times, journey of a girl who has gone from doing organized tours to breaking out on her own and organizing everything from hotels, tours, and attractions.

I am inviting you to a special edition of this blog.  This will be dedicated to many businesses I will have the pleasure of working with along the way.  I'm looking forward to sharing all of my wonderful experiences with all of you!

Just a little preview of where I'll be going, and what I will be seeing along the way!

Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany!!  What better way to start this amazing adventure! How about all the great sights of Ireland.  Guess what I will be kissing??  For those car fans out there I'm hoping you will enjoy my photos of the Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. For those of you men who wear Cologne I will be traveling to the city that made it.  Did you know that not only does Amsterdam have a Red Light District, but so does Hamburg? I will be taking you along a boat ride through the canals of Copenhagen, Denmark......Maybe I'll see a Little Mermaid.  And maybe I might score a backstage pass to what Poland or Czech Republic has to offer.

I'm sure you will fall in love with this special journey as I make my way through Europe, as I immerse myself into the culture, food and everyday life with some help from experts I will meet along the way!

Now time to get up close and personal.
