The imposing Cologne Cathedral is the unmatched landmark of the metropolis and one of the best-known buildings in North Rhine-Westphalia. With a height of 157 meters it is the third highest church building in the world. The Roman Catholic Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built in the Gothic style and is said to house relics of the Three Kings in a shrine. Therefore, it is an important Christian pilgrimage destination. The cathedral was built in Gothic style - typical for this are the two spire towers that characterize the building. In front of the cathedral is a pedestrian platform with a wide staircase. Visitors should park their rented car in one of the multi-storey car parks or in the surrounding area, around the cathedral.
Depending on the direction from which you approach the cathedral with your rental car, you should bear in mind that the three-arched Hohenzollern Bridge next to the Cologne Cathedral is only open to railways, pedestrians and cyclists. In order to avoid annoying procedures, it is therefore worthwhile for non-local residents to book a navigation device when booking a car with their car.

In addition to the cathedral, Cologne offers many other sights worth visiting. After all, the city is already more than 2000 years old and looks back on an eventful history. For example, you can visit the high-medieval city wall and in Zeughausstraße you can see the Roman tower. The tower belongs to the former Roman city fortification. In addition, numerous churches dominate the townscape. This includes the Basilica of St. Kunibert, the early Romanesque church of St. Pantaleon, the Gothic St. Peter's Church and the baroque church of St. Mary's Assumption. Near Cologne Cathedral stands the large Romanesque church Gross St. Martin with its monumental crossing tower. The synagogue in Cologne also catches the eye with its beautiful building in the neo-Romanesque style and its large window rosette.

Other exciting sights such as Cologne's city hall with its octagonal 'Ratsturm'. These are also worth a visit and can be easily reached by rental car.

Cologne has something for every taste: connoisseurs visit the Chocolate Museum, located on the Rhine and one of the most popular museums in Germany.
