I'm heading off to Cologne for a long weekend soon. Any ideas where to go and what to do?

Cologne is a lovely historic city with lots to offer. As earlier answers have suggested, the Cathedral is a must but I would also recommend:
The Roman remains: the Praetorium is the foundations of the residence of the city's Roman governor (1st - 4th century) which were uncovered under the Rathaus (city hall).
Chocolate Musuem (free samples!)
If you're there around Ash Wednesdat time, there is one of the best carnivals in Germany
It shouldn't effect you, but it might be worth bearing in mind that musuems are generally closed on Mondays.

I was in Cologne this past summer and really loved all of it! Of course the Dom is amazing, as is their local beer - Kolsch. If you love shopping, they have just about everything, from several H&Ms and esprit. Also, Peek und Cloppenburg is the best place to go for couture. If you're a clubber, go to Cent Club...really cool hip place!

and not to forget the river Rhein, the lovely walk there and the
big, busy station with all the fast food outlets and shops
underneath and if you like trains, then the ICE modern fast
trains are worth having a look at upstairs.
