This live stream points at the Kölner Dom, the Gothic cathedral that rises beside the Hohenzollern Bridge in the heart of Cologne. It is a useful way to see the landmark and its square without travelling, and to judge the mood of the city centre before you go.

A cathedral by the Rhine

Cologne Cathedral is one of the largest Gothic churches in Northern Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Construction began in 1248 and continued for centuries, and the twin spires dominate the skyline of the city on the west bank of the Rhine. The surrounding old town and the river promenade give the area a lively, varied character throughout the year.

What to watch and when

The camera is a city view centred on the cathedral, so the stone facade, the square and the flow of people are the main subjects. Daylight shows the most detail, while the weather changes the scene noticeably, from clear sky to grey winter cloud. Late afternoon is often the most atmospheric time for the light on the towers.

Practical notes and nearby views

Cologne has a temperate oceanic climate, with mild summers and cool, damp winters, so spring and early autumn are comfortable for walking. The city is easy to reach by train, and the main station lies very close to the cathedral. Nearby cameras include the Hyatt Regency Hotel view in Cologne and the Bonn view over the Friedrich-Ebert Bridge.
