Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom)

#traveldiaries The Cologne Cathedral is one of the most iconic landmarks in Germany and a must-visit for anyone exploring the city. Its towering Gothic spires reach high into the sky, making it visible from almost anywhere in Cologne. Stepping inside, you’ll be amazed by the sheer size and grandeur of the cathedral, which took over 600 years to complete. The interior is equally impressive, with stunning stained glass windows, intricate carvings, and a rich history that dates back to the 13th century. For the adventurous traveler, climbing the 533 steps to the top of the south tower offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Make sure to visit the shrine of the Three Kings, said to hold the remains of the Biblical Magi. This UNESCO World Heritage site is not only a religious center but also a symbol of the city’s resilience, having survived World War II bombings with only minor damage. Cologne Cathedral is a place where history, art, and spirituality converge, making it a must-add to your #traveldiaries.

It's worth craning your neck to see this. You'll understand why it took 623 years to build.
