Frequently Asked Questions
Along the Rhine quays: Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer to the north, Frankenwerft opposite the old town, Rheinauhafen to the south. Wherever your berth, the cathedral's silhouette works as a compass: fifteen to twenty minutes' walk at most.
No, entry to the building is free. Only the south tower climb and parts of the treasury charge admission.
The Shrine of the Three Kings, a gilded medieval reliquary kept behind the high altar, which made Cologne one of the great pilgrimage destinations of Europe. The interior startles with its verticality: the piers rise in a single sweep toward vaults you can barely make out. Do not miss the contemporary window by Gerhard Richter, composed like a giant pixel field of colour.
Yes, but you have to want it: 533 steps lead to the top of the south tower, with no lift, for a view over the river and the rooftops. The twin spires rise to 157 metres. Anyone saving their legs will linger over the stained glass instead.
Cologne's pale, light beer, served in slim 20-centilitre glasses. The ritual matters: the waiter, known as the Köbes and cheerfully teasing, replaces your glass automatically until you set your beer mat on top of it. That is the gesture that means stop.
The postwar-rebuilt historic quarter between the cathedral and the Rhine: the cobbled Alter Markt and Fischmarkt squares, narrow houses with brightly painted gables, lanes carrying a smell of hops. It is where you catch the mood of the city: direct, cheerful, unfussy.
Yes, and its very name comes from it: Cologne was a Roman colony, and two thousand years of history surface everywhere in the city. Depending on the time you have, you can pick your century, from the ancient forum to pop art.
A museum right beside the cathedral apse, holding one of the most important pop art collections outside the United States, Picasso included. It is the modern counterpoint to the Gothic stone, and takes an hour or two to see.
A former dock basin converted into a contemporary district, about twenty minutes' walk south along the river, recognisable by its three buildings shaped like upside-down harbour cranes. The chocolate museum occupies a peninsula there: the history of cacao, a working production line and a chocolate fountain where you dip warm wafers.
From the main quays to the cathedral square: about 1 kilometre, a flat walk along the Rhine. From the Rheinauhafen to the cathedral: 1.5 kilometres, or one tram stop from Heumarkt if your legs have had enough. The Hohenzollern Bridge, close to the cathedral, gives the best photographic angle on the twin spires.
