This is the first site I saw in Germany 30 years ago. It's a huge cathedral and you can climb the over 530 steps to the top. It's the central landmark of the city near the main train station, old town, shopping and other sights. It's unique and you can't see the massive size unless you are there.

Kölner Dom aka the Cologne Cathedral aka the Cathedral of St. Peter is Germany's most visited landmark. It is the tallest twin spired church in the world and is the third tallest church in the world. The structure dates back to 1248 and it's seeing its age these days. Located in downtown Cologne and right next to the fifth busiest railway station in Europe, it is dirty and needing a massive facelift. Thankfully, minimal scaffolding today in the rain and I had a great view. [Review 21268 overall 272 in Germany 233 of 2024.

My brother and I were looking for a challenge and a view, and the Cologne Cathedral was just that. We made sure to get in line earlier in the day to be able to enjoy the climb and avoid any crowds in the narrow spiral stairs. There are a total of 533 steps, and it's totally worth it. You have a semi-obstructed view of the city, as it is fenced in to protect visitors. The interior architecture is so beautiful, and you really test your fitness throughout the climb. We intentionally went quite fast and made it to the top within 11min. Highly recommend a visit if you are in Cologne. Ver carta

It seems that Cologne Cathedral is crowded with people inside and outside. The cathedral is a typical Gothic building with complicated and overlapping spires. It is very imposing inside and outside. With more than 600 years to build it alone already carries a heavy history. The famous three golden coffins of the three wise men are placed in the center and can only be viewed from a distance. It is said that someone opened the golden coffins 200 years ago and found the skeletons of a young, middle-aged and old man, which seems to prove that the three wise men visited the birth of Jesus. We also climbed the 530+ steps to the top of a spire, the reward is spectacular view of Cologne. It was wort...

I was looking forward to seeing the Cologne Cathedral, one of the highlights of our Rhine river cruise. We first had a guided tour of Cologne, interesting in itself, and then we rounded a corner and straight up the boulevard, dominating everything, was the cathedral. Wow. What a sight! It truly was a Goliath among the Lilliputian modern buildings on the street. The cathedral is a World Heritage Site and Germany's most visited tourist attraction averaging 20,000 people a day. It's the largest Gothic Church in northern Europe and the tallest twin spired church in the world. Construction begin in 1248, continued for 300 years, and then abruptly stopped, unfinished. There the cathedral sat for a...

Would you pay $11,000 to visit a cathedral? Visited May 24, 2024 as part of a day tour group. Took 632 years to build, started in 1248, due to lack of funds, only finished in 1880. During WW2 all the glass panes were removed for safekeeping. Allied bombers used the twin spires as a navigational aid. The church took 14 bomb hits from near misses of neighboring structures, tearing huge holes in the roof. However the walls and twin spires remained intact. The entire city of Cologne is of new construction, rebuilt after the end of the war in 1945. The church was rebuilt by 1956, but the colored glass panes were put in much later. I've seen the church on Youtube when a German Panther tank knocked... Ver carta
