We stopped in Koln to visit the Cathedral (Kolner Dom its German name) on a tour of Western Europe in early May 2008. I must say that out of all the incredible cathedrals we visited, Kolner Dom is by far the most impressive and beautiful. It’s not hard to believe that it once was the tallest structure in the world.... more

The size of this church is unbelievable. If you're lucky enough to see the outside during sundown, the view is even better in my opinion. It's just a beautiful building. The stairs to the top are long, small and seem never ending but the view up there is worth it. Its right across from the train station..can't miss it! When... more

You must visit here and climb to the top of the cathedral if you're able. (It's 32 stories high and not easy!) more

The cathedral is immense and gorgeous on its own. It's amazing and looms over the square and the city - you can see it from a mile away as you approach Cologne by train. I'm glad we did a guided tour to really learn about it though. And you can only go into the choir area (the oldest area from... more

The dark gothic tower is like something out of a film i simply cannot believe it started to be built in 1200's! You can see the turrets of the cathedral from across the other... more

The Dom is an absolute must-see in Cologne. It really does take your breath away when you first see it. It's easy to take in on your own, but there is a guided tour in English every day for a few Euro. It begins at 2pm, but check with the tourist information office (across the street from the Dom) for... more

Cologne is a wonderful town to visit. The Cathedral is breathtaking. more

When you first see the cathedral you are immediately aware of the two towering spires, which rise to over 157m. Then as you enter the cathedral you notice how high the nave is and how dark it feels due to bieng surrouned by tall buildings. I think that it was facinating to see this magnificant and great cathedral but I... more
