I will be in Amsterdam for 10 days and I would like to travel around Germany for a few days, but I am not sure which places to go.
I hear that Cologne is a must! But I am not sure what others places could be interesting.
I will be travelling next month and with my 7 month old son! Any tips?

It has been funny to see many people's answers as thinking you meant West Germany (as in the country that existed until 90') and not simply western Germany! I know an ABSOLUTE INCREDIBLE city for you to go to...someone already mentioned it....AACHEN!
I went to Aachen this summer with my family. One of the most beautiful, quaint, and relaxing town I have ever been to anywhere. Its Altstadt (oldtown) has Charlemagne's Cathedral, Prinzen (amazing ginergread) and lots of Old World cobblestone streets that are very fun to explore. They may have some horse races while you are there. The Hotel Benelux was a great place to saty that includes one of the best breakfasts I've ever had.
One of the most relaxing and rejuvinating thing you can do is to bathe in mineral waters there that can be accessed through the unbelieveable spa called Carolus Thermen. The web site is in English and Deutsch it is:http://www.carolus-thermen.de. For the rest of your life you will judge how relaxed and content you are to how you will feel after spending a very affordable day here in paradise. And of course being in mellow Aachen will only add to the way most feel for several days after batheing in the healing waters. Don't miss this for the world! Germany is known for their incredible spas with healing water. If you don't go to Aachen at least go to Baden- Baden and bathe there. What better way to bless yo child in the healing waters of Germany.

Frankfurt is a dynamic and international economic and deal good town with imposing skyline in Germany and is among the places that you'll require to see, one or more time and this place hotelbye will help you. Frankfurt is a city in the heart of Germany and Europe and is a city that may provide many facets and different variety. In the heart of Frankfurt's Old Town you will discover a spot well worthy, the Römerberg.The Römerberg can be an irregularly designed square with the Justice Fountain at its center. Not only can it be Frankfurt's many picturesque community square, it's the city's busiest pedestrian zone, home to varied tourist attractions from its many Kulturschirn (a type of open-fronted shop once popular throughout the previous town) to the Römer, a complex of 11 attractive previous houses from the 15th to 18th generations offering the Old Town Hall with its Imperial Hall, after the scene of splendid banquets. Other significant houses are the New Town Hall, the 14th-century Gothic Church of St. Leonhard, and St. Nicholas Church, significant for the carillon.

Cologne is nice..a large cathedral.."The Dom" Most of the city is modern though..not an old world place really, Bonn isnt far either. Towns along the Mosel River. The Black Forest. The Nurburgring - Nordschleife 70km from Cologne if it isnt covered in snow is always a big treat for the guys..a racetrack and a car museum. Monschau is near the Nurburgring and one of the pretty old world type towns. Heidelburg Castle is REALLY nice. In the winter months here though,a lot of the castles and that sort are closed though so you will have to check. Paris will be about a 6-7 hour drive from Cologne so not impossible to see also while you are here. There is Disneyland Paris there.

Definately Cologne, I'll be there May 24 and 25. Duesseldorf for shopping, then take a Rhine cruise and get off and go to Frankfurt, hop on the ICE to Wuerzburg, then take a slower one to Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Munich is great, a short drive to Salzburg and then go on to Innsbruck. Have fun! Inquire about a Rail Pass!

Cologne and Duesseldorf are a must if you are so close. They are just an hour away from the dutch border. There is lots of stuff to see and to do in both cities, actually the whole region ....
I am trying to think what special thing you could do with a 7month old baby. There is the chocolate museum in Cologne which is fantastic. Shopping is great in both places.

If you head south you might take a day to visit Ulm, Germany. The birthplace of Albert Einstein, also you will be able to see and visit the worlds tallest church spire.
Ulm and Neu-Ulm are not as well known as some of the other areas but is located near Muchen, Augsburg, Stuttgart and the Alpine region and Black Forrest
