Cologne spreads over both banks of the Rhine, began as a Roman settlement in 38 BC and is today Germany's fourth-largest city and a cultural hub. Its emblem is Cologne Cathedral, on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, AJet, SunExpress and Eurowings fly direct to Cologne/Bonn from more than seventeen Turkish airports, and the flight from Istanbul takes about 3 hours 20 minutes. The cathedral, the museums and the Kolsch beer taverns fill even a short weekend.
