The Cathedral of Saint Peter and Mary

The building of the cathedral started in the 13th century and took six centuries to finish.
It is simply breathtaking, the most awesome Gothic structure of its kind!

Coming from the autobahn, this is the bridge that will take you to Cologne. The city is split in half by the Rhine

The old city of Cologne

Heumarkt, the biggest square which features the statue of Friedrich Wilhelm III, King of Prussia, on horseback

The fishmarkt houses, dating back to the medieval ages but have been reconstructed after the heavy bombardment in WWII.
The Romanesque church of Gross St. Martin is seen in the background

The steps leading to the Cathedral. The plastic sculpture of Adonis (?) is out of place though

The fishmarkt square facing the Rhine river is a great place to cuddle
