Cologne Cathedral, or Kölner Dom, is a beautiful Gothic building reputed to house the relics of the Three Magi. The high tower of Cologne Cathedral gives panoramic views across the city. Like all German towns Cologne has an excellent transport network, good shopping, fine dining and vibrant nightlife, with many nightclubs, theaters, concert halls and beer cellars.
