Book on Viator

Prepare yourself for witches, ghosts, murderers and the pure misery of living in Medieval Times.

Cologne today is known as a welcoming city—full of culture, music, drinking, and happiness. But it hasn’t always been that way. Discover the darker side of Cologne’s history and the city's Medieval past with a few jumps to some more recent history.

Departing from Heumarkt, stroll through Cologne's historic city center as you listen to stories and legends from the Dark Ages from murderers from the north to Cologne's most haunted house.

Learn about the witches that kicked off Cologne's Witch hunts and helped bring them to a close while in standing with views of the Dom at night.

Hear how the Devil helped and hindered the construction of the Cathedral and how one woman helped thwart Satan and another created the city. Get to know the zombies, thiefs and doomed souls of the black plague as well as what killed Cologne's Robin Hood.
