[Germany🇩🇪] Cologne Cathedral⛪ & a relaxing time at a popular cafe☕️

Located along the Rhine River in western Germany, Cologne blends historic streets with a modern vibe. Long a thriving center of culture and art, it's also famous for its carnivals and Kölsch beer. Centered around the city's iconic cathedral, it's a popular travel destination offering sightseeing and gourmet food. ✨ ⛪️ Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) Cologne Cathedral is one of Germany's most popular tourist destinations. Construction began in 1248 and took approximately 600 years to complete. Its 157-meter-tall spire is the city's symbol, and immediately catches your eye upon exiting Cologne Central Station. 🔹 Admission Fee ・Inside the Cathedral: Free ・South Tower Observation Deck: 6€ for adults / 4€ for children From the observation deck, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Rhine River and the cityscape, which is said to be especially spectacular at sunset. ✨ ☕️ Cafe Riese Köln 📍Location: Schildergasse 103, 50667 Köln, Germany Cafe Riese Köln is a long-established cafe perfect for a stop during your sightseeing break. Its terrace seating overlooking the cobblestones is a charming spot, making it popular with locals. The menu items I ordered this time were: 🥔 Potato soup (with bread) 🧇 Cathedral-themed waffles With their fluffy texture and natural sweetness, they're perfect for lingering after a cathedral tour. It's also cute, so it's perfect for photos! 📸✨ It's a small town, so you can do all your shopping and enjoy Cologne's charms at the same time. Highly recommended! ✨ #PochiKatsuTravel #CologneCathedral #WorldHeritageTour #GermanyTrip #EuropeTrip #CologneCafe #CafeRiese #TravelGuide #RecommendedSpots #Germany
