Welcome to Cologne, where the magnificent Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) stands as a testament to Gothic architecture and centuries of devotion; construction began in 1248 and was completed in 1880, making it one of Germany's most iconic landmarks. Its significance lies not only in its breathtaking spires that reach towards the heavens but also as a UNESCO World Heritage Site that attracts millions of visitors each year who come to marvel at its intricate stained glass windows and sacred relics. As you explore this architectural wonder, don’t miss the chance to climb up to the viewing platform for an unparalleled panoramic view of the city.

Just a stone’s throw away is Hohenzollern Bridge (Hohenzollernbrücke), which has become synonymous with love due to its thousands of padlocks left by couples symbolizing their unbreakable bonds. This bridge connects Cologne’s historic old town with Deutz across the Rhine River and offers stunning views both day and night—especially when illuminated after sunset. Be sure to take your own photo on this picturesque crossing while soaking in its rich history dating back over 150 years!
