Germany's Black Forest and Cologne – Rick Steves' Europe TV Show Episode

After visiting Germany's greatest Gothic Cathedral in Cologne, we'll enjoy the good life German -style at a top mineral spa and try our luck at the Versailles of casinos in Baden-Baden, then crank some old-time music and explore an open-air museum in the romantic Black Forest . Roman-Germanic Museum One of Germany's top Roman museums offers minimal English among its elegant and fascinating display of Roman artifacts : glassware, jewelry, and mosaics. All these pieces are evidence of Cologne's status as an important site of civilization long before the cathedral was ever imagined.
