KOLN : DOM

In the medieval times, Koln or Cologne was extremely prosperous because it was strategically located along the River Rhine at the crossroads of trade routes.

The Dom is one of the most beautiful and impressive churches ever. It is a massive Gothic building and dominates the city's skyline. According to my friend, the Dom is continuously under restoration. The day the Dom is completed is the end of the world, or something!

The DOM is located right in front of the train station, so it is very convenient to pop out to admire it.

If you are thinking of taking a walk around Koln and catching the train back from the NEXT train station, instead of from the original KOLN train station, I suggest you study the train schedule carefully.

The next train station may have other train routes through very small, tiny towns and may take you forever to get to your destination.

The KOLN train station is the main station so it is a safer bet.
