Stayed on the last night in Cologne. When I visited Beethoven’s house in Bonn in the afternoon, I missed the beautiful figure overlooking Cologne Cathedral from the sky. I rushed back from Bonn to the Cologne exhibition/Deutz station and walked quickly to the station next to the station. At the Triangle Building, I finally enjoyed the Cologne Cathedral bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun on the roof of the building, marking a perfect end to this free tour of Cologne.

The overall view of the district, the focus is that it is open every day, and there will be no problems with the church being closed for renovation.
