About the city

Cologne is one of the largest cities in Germany, playing the role of an important economic and cultural center. It is located on the banks of the Rhine River in western Germany. With a history of over 2000 years, it will certainly surprise even the most sophisticated tourists with its atmosphere and architectural values.

The symbol of the city is Cologne Cathedral. The shrine became one of the few religious buildings that survived after the terrible bombing of World War II. The cathedral was built in the Gothic style and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The incredible architecture of the cathedral includes majestic portals and towers, which are woven in a fancy pattern like black lace, while the outlines of the cathedral represent a Latin cross. The magnificent stained-glass windows are particularly impressive, as they were manufactured by the best medieval craftsmen. The visitors to the city are also impressed by the huge height of the сathedral, which is 157 m.

Among the secular buildings in Cologne, the City Hall is of particular interest to visitors. The building was reconstructed several times since the XIV century, but during the post-war reconstruction it was possible to achieve the best possible resemblance to the original design. The facade of the tower of the City Hall is decorated with 124 sculptures depicting iconic persons for the history of Cologne. Every three hours, the bronze bells at the top of the tower play melodies, which are known to every German.

The city has many interesting museums. The most interesting of these include the Chocolate Museum, the Fragrance Museum, the Museum Ludwig and the Roman-Germanic Museum.
