Sightseeing near the apartment hotels in Cologne
Cologne is a city full of life and history with many sightseeing spots. Cologne is one of the oldest still exisiting cities in Germany, with a history dating back more than 2000 years ago. Its long dating back history can be seen everywhere in the city: guests in our apartment hotels in Cologne can see impressive curches and buildings on nearly every corner.
Cologne’s master piece and most famous sight is the ‘Kölner Dom’, the Cologne Cathedral. The cathedral of medieval gothic architecture is nearly 800 years old, with its first stone set in 1248. In 1996, the UNESCO declared the cathedral as one of Europe’s masterpeices and a World Heritage Stie. Under Catholics it is considered as an important pilgrim place as the remains of the three Magi are preserved in the cathedral. Visiting the Cologne Cathedral is a must for everyone staying in our apartment hotels in Cologne.
Next to the Cathedral, there are 12 romanesque churches just within the city center. As of this, Cologne is considered as the city of churches. There is no other German city that offers such a high density of curches. Some of the collegiates and churches, such as the St. Gereon and the Great St. Maring churches are among the largest in Western Europe. Nonetheless, next to all the imposant cathereals and curches, Cologne has much more to offer to its guests in the apartment hotels in Cologne.
Cologne is also home to some of Germany’s most famous and visited mueums. More than 40 museums and 120 galleries are situated in Cologne, making the city a center for culture and art. The Apartment Hotel Europe team highly recommends everyone staying in our apartment hotels in Cologne to visit the Romano-Germanic Museum, the Museum Ludwig (with the biggest outside the US pop art collection), the Wallraf-Richartz Museum and the newly build cultural Quarter at Neumarkt.
