only just noticed this now.  very disappointing to be in Koln.  was there for the mainz game, not a great city.
 
would've preferred Berlin, Munich, or Nurnberg.  still, will be cheap enough.

Cologne is a lovely city, spent a week there in 2006 and had a great time.

Also, the ex-West Germany Capital, Bonn, is 20mns away on the metro and has plenty of cheap accommodation as an alternative if things get pricy.

As I've mentioned before, I've lived in Cologne and it's a great city and the perfect place for the game.

Great city, stayed in it for a couple of nights before the game in Mainz.  
 
The small beer here is very popular as opposed to the big Steins in Southern Germany. 
 
More Pilsner than Weissebeer. 

Great place for the game.

You'll be wanting the Altermarkt in the old town - 5 mins walk from the train station and the Dom.
Couple of good Irish boozers on the square (Corkonian and Barney Vallelys) and also can shops very close by.

There is another square about a 10 minute walk away , Neumarkt, but that has less boozers around it and i imagine the will be some sort of organised fan event happening up there which will be a bit more formal etc.
