Cologne
My stay in Germany over my Christmas break was pretty short. Just two full days in fact. We literally had just a day to tour Dusseldorf and another day in Cologne.
We decided to go to Cologne due to its proximity to Dusseldorf. In fact, we just took the local train to go there and the trip lasted no more than an hour. Quite short really. Anyway, visitors go to Cologne for one major attraction, the Cathedral.
Me waiting at the platform for the train that was going to take us to Cologne. The train next to me wasn't the one we took as far as I can recall.
As soon as we left the train station, this was the building that caught my eye. This upscale hotel right next to the cathedral.
The huge Cologne Cathedral
Pretty impressive painting inside the catehdral
The ruins of Old St Albans
This was inside City Hall
A mosaic by Picasso inside City Hall
A quiet square opposite City Hall
The train station which looked like a mall!
