Are there any interesting places around Cologne?

The city of Cologne straddles the banks of the Rhine, but its core, the inner city, is located on the west bank of the Rhine. Most of the scenic spots and historical sites and bustling business districts are concentrated here. Cologne Cathedral is the center of the inner city. There is a lot of traffic nearby, and cars and buses are constantly flowing. 10 years ago, Cologne people built a church platform to isolate the building from the noisy traffic. The resulting church square has become a gathering center for locals and tourists. Here, we can see teenagers skating in circles on a wide field, road painters copying famous paintings on the ground with colored chalk, and we can often see some high-level music lovers playing for people spontaneously.
