Germany’s history, three places to visit
Cologne Cathedral’s own website says visitors must climb 533 steps to reach the platform on its South Tower. Aachen Cathedral’s says it is the best-preserved building from the Carolingian period.
We read the official pages of three places in October 2026 and put one quote from each in a short PDF checklist, with a link to every page so you can check hours and tickets yourself.
