What to do and see in Altstadt-Nord, North Rhine-Westphalia: The Best Architectural Buildings
There are 2,000 years of history in Cologne, and visitors here will find everything from Roman towers to Gothic churches to fine examples of modern architecture. Cologne has a variety of museums, too—check out the Museum of Applied Art, the Museum Ludwig and, if you have a sweet tooth, the Chocolate Museum. Be forewarned, though—the gift shop at the latter will utterly ruin your diet.

4.5 based on 21,825 reviews
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.

This famous Romanesque cathedral, re-opened in 1985 following extreme damage during World War II, takes second billing behind only the Dom as Cologne's most prominent religious structure.

I am not a classical music expert but I really enjoyed our evening at the Philharmonic. The program was diverse and the soloist soprano sang like velvet. Our seats were very affordable This facility is very impressive. The audience surrounds the musicians completely. Of course, the less expensive seats are behind the symphony, which is kind of fun to watch from that angle. Because of the precision of the acoustics, the sound really isn't that much different no matter where you are sitting. Be careful when choosing your seats that you do not get too high. My friend and I had a little vertigo.
