What travellers say about Cologne Cathedral

This cathedral is huge and was built between 1248 and 1880. We visited on a sunny day and enjoyed the gothic architecture. Near the treasury you can find a small section that addresses some controversies around the cathedral for example its role in the Holocaust and that the church kept its anti-semitic decoration on the outside structure.
The visit is free but if you like to walk up the tower you need to pay 6 Euros and take a separate entrance on the side of the church.Know more about Cologne Cathedral

At 157 m, it is the tallest twin-spired church in the world, the second tallest church in Europe and the third tallest church in the world. Its construction began in 1248 but stopped around 1560 until the 1840s, and completed in 1880. About 20,000 people visit the church everyday.
