About Cologne
Cologne is a Rhine city of Roman roots and a towering Gothic cathedral, with Romanesque churches, art museums and a brewing tradition of its own.
Cologne's cathedral, begun in 1248 and finished in 1880, rises 157 metres above the Rhine on twin spires and shelters the golden Shrine of the Three Kings; it is a World Heritage site. The city began as a Roman colony, and the Roman-Germanic Museum beside the cathedral shows a large Dionysus mosaic found on the spot. The Hohenzollern Bridge carries trains across the river, its railings hung with love locks, and a dozen Romanesque churches stand in the old centre.
Top-ranked sights in Cologne: Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom), Cologne Old Town (Altstadt), Roman-Germanic Museum (Römisch-Germanische Museum).
