Cologne Cathedral

5 Pranesh Dewangan - a month ago

Majestic, grand and all those similar adjectives. This is the main attraction in cologne and is worth it. The space around the cathedral is also relaxing. The insides of the cathedral is breathtaking. Also you can climb the tower which is also, literally, breathtaking, since there are 500 odd steps to climb. Visit as early as possible to avoid crowd. It is specially beautiful at night with all the lights, it looks surreal.

Lovely cathedral. It’s quite big. I loved the stained glass windows they were very beautiful. It’s a lovely place to visit if you are in cologne, has a lot of history in it. It was very beautiful and the details are amazing! Would definitely recommend you go see it. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is that there was scaffolding on the cathedral when I went (I guess they were doing repairs or something )

Huge cathedral in cologne
It was the first time in this city and really enjoyed walking around and seeing so many interesting places and of course this cathedral I couldn’t had it in one flame and also couldn’t had it without the crowd.
But we could enjoyed the views from far away. Hope everyone enjoyed visiting this cathedral and this city as well
Have a wonderful trip and a good time with your company

Truly a magnificent piece of architecture. The humongous size does tend to blow your mind away!
There's no entrance fee, hence pretty crowded but could still grab few nice pictures. Definitely a must visit for Köln

The place outside the Cathedral is too crowded and noisy that it is less possible for us to breath. The place is so beautiful and inside of the cathedral is calm and quiet. The art works are extremely brilliant. It would be better to go during the day time especially when it is sunny, so that you can enjoy the colorful glass paintings inside the cathedral.

This place is very crowded. The cathedral is majestic. The interiors are worth visiting, houses a crypt as well. The tower climb is not too arduous, but you do have to climb 533 steps. There is a combo-ticket available for treasury and tower climb, would recommend it.

Disliked that there were no visual cues inside on what you are looking at and no pamphlet guide in English.

One of the most mesmerizing pieces of architecture I’v seen in my life. The details, the size, the view, the history and the beauty are all immaculate.

I came to cologne on a business trip and on my last day I decided to explore the city and it was the best decision ever and later I read about the cathedral and its history.

You can go to the other side of the river to take some nice photos as well.

Also note that if you want to get inside the cathedral you’ll have to go between 10:00 and 17:00 on weekdays.

The love bridge is also near by which will give you a nice view of the cathedral and the river.
