Top Culture in Cologne

Try to catch one of the choral services if you can; it was such a beautiful experience and absolutely free! A perfect way to enjoy the acoustics of the cathedral.

If you're on a budget, skip the audio guide. I found plenty of info online and through the pamphlet they give. My advice is to save those euros for a nice bratwurst instead!

Bring a good camera or your phone charged. The intricate details on the outside and inside are just stunning. You won’t want to miss capturing those, trust me.

Check out the rooftop view! I missed it, but everyone raves about it. I think it's worth the extra few euros and the climb.

Don't miss the chocolate fountain in the middle! I think it's a magical experience to dip fresh fruit in it. But, keep an eye on the timing—it gets super busy around lunch!
