Hi, on our Rhine River cruise we have the option of a full day tour in Cologne or 1/2 day Cologne and 1/2 day Dusseldorf.. Anyone experience these cities and have any thoughts if there is more to see in Cologne to stay or for a whole day or we can see Cologne in a hald day and if Dusseldof is worth seeing in half day Appreciate your thoughts :-)

The two cities are different enough to explore both, and both have enough to explore for 1-2 full days depending on interests. For beer lovers both cities are a must because so close they are on a map, so different is their favorite beer (Kölsch versus Altbier).
I recommend to have a look into both cities' tourist pages and to decide on this base.

What day? Our cruise stopped in Cologne on a Monday and all the museums were closed. After the cathedral there wasn't much to see and so we wandered aimlessly for a bit and headed back to the ship.
