“On my first visit to Cologne, I didn’t know anything about the city before I arrived. As I exited the railway station, I was astonished to discover the twin spires of the magnificent Cologne Cathedral directly in front of me. At 157 meters (515 feet), the cathedral dominates the city’s skyline. It is downright awe-inspiring.”
