This giant Gothic cathedral, which until its completion in 1880 had been under construction for over 500 years, is perhaps Germany's most famous religious structure and includes two huge towers that serve as the defining symbol of Cologne's skyline.

No street reflects the city's well-to-do reputation more than the wide array of upscale stores and restaurants on Knigstrasse.

Köln Triangle is conveniently located a short walk across the Hohenzollernbrücke and just a couple of minutes walk from the Messe/Deutz train station. Admission costs €3 per person which is one of the cheapest I’ve paid for any viewing admission. The lift takes you up to the 28th floor and then take the stairs up to the observation deck or for those who need a lift to the top there is an accessible lift which will take you right the way to the top. Take in the 360c panorama of Cologne with views over the Rhein and out to the cathedral - it really is breathtaking.
