Cologne, or Köln in German, is the capital of Rhineland, with its own dialect, its own style of beerbrewing and an inimitably witty and fun-loving character that is particularly boisterous during the city’s famous Carnival. Cologne is world-famous for its twin-spired cathedral, its romantic Rhine panorama and the Eau de Cologne to which it gave its name.
Love the pictures, I was to Cologne Cathedral twice, once in 1999 and also in 2001. It is my favorite in all of Europe, even more so than Notre Dame. Climbing to the top of the tower was my favorite experience inside the cathedral, wow, those steps were very narrow. The view of the Rhine is great once you reach the top! I can't wait to go back to Germany one day, which was the home of my ancestors.
