When it comes to Cologne, you have to go to Cologne Cathedral! 🗺️ A focus of the itinerary is to personally climb this landmark to take pictures, but a small reminder, walking the church stairs is really a bit of a test of legs, it is recommended that friends who want to rush to the high-rise observation deck really have to be mentally prepared ~ 🌟Itinerary Highlights: The main focus of this Cologne is to experience the Cologne Cathedral in depth. Whether it is admiring the exterior carvings, feeling the historical precipitation inside, or challenging to climb the clock tower, the view and atmosphere are excellent. As one of the grandest Gothic churches in Europe, it is not only a place of religious pilgrimage but also the soul of the city of Cologne. 🏰 Check-in Tips for Cologne Cathedral First, don’t just take pictures outside the church, it’s recommended to be sure to explore inside! As soon as you enter the lobby, you will immediately feel the sacred pressure. The stained glass windows are delicately designed and the sunlight shines through beautifully! If you are spiritual enough, remember to challenge the bell tower (to the top requires walking more than 500 stone stairs, really a bit tired, but the view is really unbeatable ~), from a high view of the city of Cologne, really moved 📍Address: Domkloster 4, 50667 Köln, Germany ⏰ Opening hours: 06:00-20:00 year-round Restaurant tips: There are many cafes or snack shops around the church. 🔋 Practical strategy tips 1️⃣ The route to the bell tower really requires physical strength. Before walking, it is recommended not to have an empty stomach, drink more water and wear comfortable shoes. 2️⃣ If you feel tired in the middle of the stairs, you can look outside the small window at the corner to blow the wind and adjust your breathing. 3️⃣ The church is open all year round, but more crowds during peak hours, it is recommended to go early in the morning or dusk to avoid tour groups. 4️⃣ Convenient transportation around Cologne Cathedral, you can take the S-Bahn or metro to Köln Hauptbahnhof station, exit the station. If you want to come to Cologne for pure and meaningful fun, Cologne Cathedral is a must! Get ready for the leg bone strength challenge, and then use your camera to capture the most spectacular moment ~ #Cologne #GermanyTravel #CologneCathedral #EuropeanArchitecture #TravelTips
