像是我最喜歡的科隆(Cologne)

Cologne

Founded over 2000 years ago Cologne is one of the prettiest cities in Europe and is renowned throughout Germany as a cultural centre for business and media. Located on the Rhine, Cologne offers the visitor great cathedrals, huge department stores, fantastic clubs and internationally renowned museums.

Cologne’s twin spired Cathedral is a massive example of French Gothic architecture, work began in 1248 but it took over 600 years before the project was completed due to lack of funds. It took 300 years of the Cathedral standing in-completed before a generous donation from the Prussian King Friedrich Willhelm IV allowed building to recommence. Luckily the cathedral remained undamaged during the heavy bombing of WW2 and in 1996 was declared a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO. The Cathedral is 500ft high with two towering spires and delicate flying buttresses. The interior is also breathtaking with sweeping arches and magnificent pillars. The Cathedral is open daily from 10am to 4pm, tours in both English and German are available throughout the day and include a slide show.
那應該是拼錯了,應該是Wilhelm,只有一個Wil沒有double L
Buttress指得是飛簷(不是中國傳統飛簷)或是飛扶壁,是歌德建築的主要特色之一。


Shopping in Cologne is a fantastic experience with a wide range of boutiques, designer shops, retro stores and thrift stalls. Head for the Hohe Strasse by walking South from the Cathedral to the pedestrainised area forming the epicentre of consumer Cologne.

Cologne’s transport system is relatively easy to comprehend, anything extra that needs explaining – for example the complicated tariff structure – will be clearly described in the English language guide ‘Bus and Train Travel Made Easy’ available from transport offices.
