Cologne Cathedral

Do yourself a favor and visit around 9 AM when it opens. It was way less crowded and I could really soak in the beauty without dodging a ton of tourists.

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.
Cologne Chocolate Museum

I noticed that the café inside can be pricy. I’d say grab snacks before you go, then treat yourself to hot chocolate right after the tour. Much more satisfying!

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!
