Although you can buy on the market, plenty of food and drink we recommend armed with water towards Cologne to go. Especially when it's hot (it is summer and the stock market is filled with thousands of people) you get moisture in there to keep your head. Sufficient
Be open to smaller, unknown mr store games. Of course mr store you want to see the latest, greatest games and play.
