I have been wanting to go to Köln for the past 2 years... ever since I saw pictures of the cathedral on Pinterest. We took a quick overnight trip to see Köln and hit up Düsseldorf too.
The city of Köln (or Cologne) has been around for over 2,000 years. The twin-spired Cologne Cathedral (Dom) is breathtaking. It took over 600 years to construct! You are able to climb up and get a view from one of the spires. This city is full of beautiful buildings and amazing museums. We are not museum people and we were mostly there to see the Dom and hit up the Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Market).
Köln's Weihnachtsmarkt is actually made up of 4 separate markets; the Cathedral Market, the Old Town Market, the Angel's Market in the City (Neumarkt) and the Harbour Market. You can walk to all of them but we opted for the Christmas Market Express. It was about 8€ each and takes you to each market and a bit of a tour guide through the city.
