ATTRACTIONS
Walking through Cologne is much like a walk through time, given its mix of architecture from Roman churches to post-modern buildings. Here is just a handful of attraction on offer…
Cathedral The Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) is an architectural masterpiece. It sees six million visitors a year and features two gigantic towers that dominates the landscape. Admission to the Cathedral is free, although there is a small fee for those wishing to ascend the tower.
Romanesque Churches There are 12 Romanesque churches found within the old city walls. For centuries, the tower of Groß St. Martin has been a significant part of Cologne’s panorama, which is framed by the twin towers of St. Kunibert in the North and St. Severin in South. The St. Gereon church, which is named after a Roman officer, is the principle attraction in the North of Cologne’s Old Town.
Mediapark Found near the inner city, the Mediapark is the centre for IT, communication and media technology. The giant area is home to futuristic architecture, a huge film palace called the Cinedom and the Saturn electronic superstore.
EL-DE-Haus The former office building and Gestapo Prison was named after Cologne businessman Leopold Dahmen. The building’s shell was modified by the Gestapo for inhuman purposes and is now a memorial, with hundreds of inscriptions found scratched into the walls of the cells.
Claudius Therme This Spa provides rest and recuperation after a long day at Gamescom. Located in the Rheinpark and Roman in style, it is one of the nicest therma baths in Europe, with natural spring water, indoor and outdoor pools, sunbathing areas, catering, various types of saunas, steam baths and therapeutic treatments.
