What do people like (and dislike) about Cologne?

"Expats and digital nomads living in Cologne appreciate the city's vibrant culture, with its many museums, galleries, and festivals. They also enjoy the city's excellent public transportation system, which makes it easy to get around. Additionally, the city's low cost of living is attractive to expats and digital nomads. On the downside, some expats and digital nomads find the city's weather to be too cold and wet for their liking.
