Architectural tours with a profile

Archipedes is about getting an understanding of Cologne's contemporary architecture beyond the typical tourist office guided tour. We are architects, designers, art historians, and city planners, who love to talk about our work and that of other’s of course as well. We show you our biggest prides in modern buildings and try to unpack the mysteries of Cologne’s building industry (as far as we ourselves see through them).

Whether simply engaging people in a dialogue with architecture and with one another or guiding focused research groups: if you are interested in tours in English or Spanish, contact us for our customised programmes. You can choose if you want to do a walking trip, a boat tour, an “archi-taxi” trip or if you’d better hire a helicopter right away!

Led by selected architects in German, English or Spanish.
