Make sure you go to the catacombs
Cost is 1.00 Euro
When went was told the lights were not working and to use the flashlight on our phones.
It made the whole experience way better
Not scary or creepy

This church is pretty. I appreciated how respectful and quiet the visitors were.

As you look from the opposite side of the Rhine, three buildings immediately stand out - the cathedral, the town hall and this magnificent romanesque church.

The "current" church was built between 1150 and 1250 although it had to be almost completely restored after World War Two and only reopened in 1985.

I don't like any place where photography is not allowed during non worship hours.

The Great Saint Martin Church (German: Groß Sankt Martin, mostly Groß St. Martin) is a Romanesque Catholic church in Cologne, Germany. Its foundations (circa 960 AD) rest on remnants of a Roman chapel, built on what was then an island in the Rhine. The church was later transformed into a Benedictine monastery. The current buildings, including a soaring crossing tower that is a landmark of Cologne's Old Town, were erected between 1150-1250. The church was badly damaged in World War II; restoration work was completed in 1985.
