点评:One of the few things I knew about Cologne before visiting was that the fragrance manufacturing started here and took its name from the city. On a whim, I booked tickets for our family before the trip, and it was a great visit.
Between us and the other family we were travelling with, we had 4 ladies in their 20's and this was their favorite attraction in Cologne. I would book tickets, around 12 Euros a piece, before going. We choose 1:00 because the tour was in English and we could easily get to the store/museum after lunch on the ship docked along the river. It is a tour/active lecture that visits four different stops in the building. You will be sitting in 4 different areas when you will learn various information about the family, the building, the company history and the basics of fragrance mixing. You will sit through most of this, but the active part is you do get to some hands on with fragrances.
Anyways, at the end you can visit the shop and buy fragrances. My wife bought presents for friends, and she continues to buy for her own use. The same for our ladies in their 20's. The ladies who work there do a great job with the tour and they will help you with purchases after. I went in not expecting a lot but really enjoyed this experience.
翻译:在去科隆之前,我对这座城市了解甚少,只知道香水制造业起源于此,并以这座城市命名。一时兴起,我在旅行前为我们一家预订了门票,结果非常棒。
我们和同行的另一家人共有四位二十多岁的女士,这里是她们在科隆最喜欢的景点。我建议提前预订门票,每张大约12欧元。我们选择了下午1点的场次,因为讲解是英语的,而且我们可以在河边停泊的游轮上吃完午饭后轻松前往商店/博物馆。这是一个互动式的参观讲解,会带你参观建筑内的四个不同区域。你会坐在四个不同的区域,了解关于家族、建筑、公司历史以及香水调配基础知识的各种信息。大部分时间你都需要坐着听讲,但互动环节是你有机会亲手体验香水。
最后,你还可以去商店购买香水。我妻子给朋友们买了礼物,她自己也经常买。我们家二十多岁的女士们也是如此。那里的工作人员讲解得非常棒,而且之后还会帮你选购。我本来没抱太大期望,但这次体验真的很好。
