Cologne Cathderal Picture: Cathedral from Cathedral Square.

James Martin
Here is the Cathedral from the plaza to the south of the Cathedral. To the right is the Römisch-Germanisches Museum, or Roman-Germanic Museum. A visit here is highly recommended, as the museum is very well laid out and the artifacts explained as you go through time in Cologne.

You can ascend the 509 steps to the observation platform of the Cathedral, 95 meters high, to get a great panorama of Cologne.
