📸 Cologne Photo Guide: Must-Shoot Spots!

✅ DOs: ⛪ Cologne Cathedral - FREE entry! The Gothic giant is every photographer’s dream. Pro tip: Shoot at golden hour for dramatic shadows. 🌆 💎 Cathedral Treasury - €3.5 (student) for stunning relics (but no photos allowed inside). 🌹 Farina Fragrance Museum - €8 for the story of original Eau de Cologne + free 6ml perfume sample! ⚽ Heumarkt Fanzone - EURO 2024 exclusive! Grab limited-edition Cologne-themed fridge magnets. 🔒 Hohenzollern Bridge - Best sunset shots of the cathedral! Key spots: 1️⃣ Geodätischer Referenzpunkt 2️⃣ Rheinufer riverside 3️⃣ Equestrian Statue of Kaiser Wilhelm I ❌ DON’Ts: 🏙️ Cathedral Tower Viewpoint - €3 (student) but 500 cramped steps for a mediocre skyline. 🍫 Chocolate Museum - €12. Skip unless with kids—more "meh" than magical. 🏗️ Kath. Kirche Christi Auferstehung - Brutalist church, not photogenic and far from downtown. 🌆 KölnTriangle Viewpoint (Summer) - €5. Closes at 8PM (sunset ~10PM)—photos turn out overexposed. Winter visits recommended! #Cologne #GermanyTravel #PhotoHotspots #TravelTips
