⛪Cologne Cathedral

Cologne Cathedral is one of Europe’s most famous cathedrals and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the Gothic style, it impresses with its twin spires that rise 157 meters into the sky. Construction began in 1248 and was completed only in 1880. Inside, visitors find stunning stained glass windows, the Shrine of the Three Kings, and ornate altars. The cathedral is an important pilgrimage site and attracts millions of tourists each year. From the top of the tower, there is a spectacular view over Cologne and the Rhine. Over the centuries, it also served as a cultural and religious center. Guided tours and a climb up the south tower are possible. In the evening, the illuminated façade is particularly majestic.
