The City
You think, it’ll take a long time to speak
German well? You are right, but we can
assure you, that it does not take as much
time as to build a cathedral. 632 years passed
before the construction of the most visited
sight in Germany was finished – that is the
Cologne Cathedral. Today the church is a genuine
attraction. 157 meters high with room for 20,000
people. If we would undertake to build a cathedral
like that nowadays, it would cost 10 billion Euro. The famous
Cologne landmark is also a symbol of the town’s joie
de vivre. The cathedral is surrounded by small lanes with restaurants,
cafés and clubs. And having an ice-cream in summer
while cooling your feet in the Rhine river is relaxing. The mighty
cathedral towers will provide protection against sunburn.
