Welcome to Cologne
We stopped for the day in Cologne on the Rhine River cruise. We did a guided walking tour of the city center with special emphasis on the Cologne Cathedral, which is the most visited landmark in all of Germany. Hard to believe, but true. We have been to a lot of spectacular churches and this certainly was one of them.
