When I woke up in the morning and opened the window, the fog gradually cleared and the blue sky gradually appeared. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Walk through the streets and alleys to the Rhine, and along the way meet the beautiful Rainbow Building, the painting boy, and the sports girl. Cologne has a vibrant weekend.
On the banks of the Rhine, you will see a towering church, which is the Great St. Martin's Church.
The Great St. Martin's Church was built between the 12th and 13th centuries and is known for its magnificent quadrangle top and trefoil-like floor shape. The Gorsiks-St. Martin's Church is the most spectacular of the 12 ancient Roman churches in Cologne, and was the symbol of Cologne until the Cologne Cathedral was built.
To this day, the Gross-St. Martin's Church and Cologne Cathedral stand side by side and are still a splendid sight on the banks of the Rhine.
Walking from the river towards Cologne Cathedral, you will pass the Ludwig Museum.
The Ludwig Museum was founded in 1976 by the famous German art patron Peter ? Mr. and Mrs. Peter Ludwig donated 774 pairs of Picasso to the museum. The museum has the largest collection of Picasso's works outside of the Picasso Museum in Paris and the Picasso Museum in Barcelona.
It also has a large collection of modern art, including works by Dali, Richtenstein and Warhol, who are exponents of pop art. The museum also has a photographic museum, Agfa-foto-historama, which collects photographs from the previous century and a half.
It's also the world's largest museum of historical pictures and cameras, making it a great place for photography enthusiasts. Depart from Cologne in the morning. After more than three hours by train, we finally arrived in Münster, the bicycle city of Germany.
Exit from Münster train station and there is a bus stop opposite. In Germany, buses are charged in sections, and the one-way fare is more than 1.6 euros.
Munster is a beautiful ancient city in the northern part of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, combining classical architecture and natural idyll. In addition to the cathedral, Münster also has the fourth largest university in Germany. Nearly 50,000 university students give the city a relaxed atmosphere, with cafes, bars and nightclubs dotted with it.
The bicycles that move through the streets are a sight to behold in Münster, a city of 300,000 people with around half a million bicycles and known as Germany's "bicycle capital". 100,000 people come and go every day on bicycles.
The roads around the city are closed to cars, and the only means of transport on this tree-lined road around the city are bicycles. It is a unique sight in European cities.
The city's distinctive feature is the numerous churches that frame the Münster skyline, and it has long been known as the "Rome of the North". The Münster people have a quip: "It rains or the bells ring - when they happen at the same time, it's Sunday."
Münster Cathedral is a must-see for tourists. She is the largest church in the state. Visitors today see parts of the church that were originally built in the 13th century in the Romance and Gothic styles, destroyed in World War II and restored in the fifties, and the interior of the church is a feast for the eyes to see with its ornate astronomical clock made in the late Middle Ages.
Its calendar is set until 2071, and the pair of green copper roofs of the church tower can be seen from a distance.
Münster Cathedral is one of the few churches that shines brightly. During a visit to the church, a German uncle who did not speak English spoke to Yunluo in German, pointing to a closed door that seemed to let Yunluo enter. Push open the door. I saw a long corridor, and the uncle followed him and pointed to another door. Yunluo walked over in wonder and found that there was a beautiful cemetery in the church.
Münster Cathedral is connected to the prinzipalmarkt square. The Prinzipalmarkt is the heart of Münster, lined with gabled aristocratic city residences, with elegant clothing boutiques and cafés under the arcades of the residences, and the town hall is most notable.
There is a train transfer from Münster to Berlin, and it is already midday when you arrive in Berlin. When you transfer to the S line from Berlin Hauptbahnhof to the hotel, you will see that the walls of the building are covered with all kinds of graffiti as soon as you leave the train station.
As the capital, Berlin's place in Germany is beyond doubt. In addition to its heavy World War II history, Berlin is also one of the artistic centers of Germany, and there are many more museums that showcase the historical and artistic treasures of Germany and the world, and the Museum Island (Museuminsel) concentrates many of them.
1. Berlin is a very open and free city, it does not have a strong religious tradition, and due to the integration of foreign populations and the impact of contemporary culture, Berlin has a very unique style. Don't be surprised if you see people in fancy clothes and behaving strangely on the road.
Of course, for the sake of politeness and safety, do not photograph strangers at random without communication to avoid unnecessary trouble.
2. Berlin's No. 100 and No. 200 buses play the role of tourist buses, which are convenient to travel to and from scenic spots at the fare of ordinary buses, and you can also sit on the bus and enjoy the best scenery in the city.
3. In some famous attractions in Berlin, there will be very appropriate "characters", such as the cartoon bear in front of Brandenburg, the American GI at Checkpoint Charlie, etc., and there is a fee to take photos with these characters, ranging from 1 euro to 2 euros, just like those performance artists.
4. Berlin is the "Bear City", the city emblem and flag have bear symbols, and there are also bear statues all over the city, and various interesting patterns are painted on the bears.
The first thing you should see in Berlin is the Berlin Wall. There are three main sections of the Berlin Wall, in addition to the most famous East Side Gallery, the section on the Niederkirchnerstra?e, about 200 metres west of Checkpoint Charlie, and the section on the Bernauerstra?e near the Nordbahnhof.
The graffiti on the East Side Gallery is the masterpiece of contemporary artists, the most famous. There is no one more than "Brotherly Kiss" (bruderku?). This is from a real political news photograph of the visit of the then Soviet leader Bruzhnev to East Germany during the 30th anniversary of the founding of the GDR. After signing a long-term cooperation agreement for the future of the two countries, hugs and kisses were like brothers.
The Oberbaumbrucke Bridge, a double-decker bridge over the River Spree in Berlin, is one of the city's landmarks with architects and government officials Ottostahn designed in the style of North German Gothic brick architecture with many decorative elements such as pointed arches, cross arches and coats of arms.
It connects the districts of Friedrichshain, which were previously divided by the Berlin Wall, and Kreuzberg. It was reopened to traffic in 1994 and has become an important symbol of Berlin's unity.
Leave the East Side Gallery and turn to the S line to Museum Island.
Museum Island, Berlin. It is a small island with five museums in one place. Built between 1824-1930. Due to its cultural and architectural monumentality, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.
The five museums are: the Altschmuseum Berlin, followed by the Neue Museum, the National Gallery, the Bode Museum and the Pergamon Museum.
If you like museums, you can buy a museum pass, which is much cheaper than buying it alone.
When you cross the bridge, you will see a green-domed building that is the Berlin Cathedral. The cathedral was built in 1894-1905. It was once used as a chapel for the royal family. The interior is extremely ornate, its interior is resplendent with intricate lines of columns and elaborate frescoes, even the capitals are gilded, and the above-ground building has 4 floors, with a height of 114 meters at its highest point.
The Brandenburg Gate is the symbol of Berlin and the national symbol of Germany.
Built in 1791 in neoclassical style, this neoclassical sandstone building is modeled after the Acropolis gates. On the top of the door is a bronze statue of the goddess of victory driving a four-wheeled carriage with outstretched wings, on the scepter in the goddess's hand. There are oak garlands, the Iron Cross and eagle vultures with outstretched wings, all of which symbolize victory in the war.
The area to the east of the Brandenburg Gate is the heart of Berlin's Old Town, and it is the only remaining Berlin Gate.
The Brandenburg Gate has been here for more than 200 years and has witnessed the rise and fall of German history. During the division of East and West Germany, the Berlin Wall was erected on the west side of the Brandenburg Gate, and no one passed through it for decades. The current city gate and the surrounding Paris Platz were the most recent renovations completed after the end of the Cold War.
Würzburg wasn't too focused on his travel plans, but as soon as he set foot in the city, Yunluo began to love it.
Würzburg is the northern starting point of the Romantic Road. The Main River flows through Würzburg's Old Town, with its 15th-century bridge and castle fortress, which is one of Würzburg's most iconic sights. On the other side of the Main is Würzburg, with palaces, churches, town halls and other buildings.
On the west bank of the Main, this castle fortress on the Marienberg is the symbol of Würzburg.
This medieval-style castle was converted into a baroque style in the 17th century. The interior of the castle is now used as two museums that tell the history of the region and the epishop's family. On the hill at the foot of Marion Castle are large vineyards. The mountain trail leading to the castle is also part of the "Weinwanderweg" (Vineyard Hiking Trail) on the Marion Mountain.
One of the older parts of Würzburg's town hall building, known as the "Grafeneckart", is a reddish-brown building with a 55-metre-high tower and many old decorations on the walls, located between the cathedral and the Ponte Main.
The building was built in 1180 and is more than 800 years old. The city hall, where the actual office is located today, is in the building behind the old building.
After a hearty breakfast in Würzburg, take a walk along the river, then leave your luggage and head to Rothenburg. The train from Würzburg to Rothenburg takes more than an hour and requires a special bus to get there.
The full name of Rothenburg is Rothenburgobdertauber, or Rothenburg on the Tauber, to distinguish it from other places in Germany called Rothenburg. It is the meeting point of the "Romantic Road" and the "Castle Road" and is the most visited town north of Munich in Bavaria.
Rothenburg is famous for being the quintessence of a medieval German town, undevastated by war, and has been restored to its best efforts in the last 20 years. Its well-preserved old town has been completely recreated from the Middle Ages.
The small town is full of winding stone alleys, quaint houses, guarded by walls and towers, charming gardens and the flow of the Tauber River, which is very beautiful and meaningful, and time seems to stand still here, full of fairytale atmosphere.
Rothenburg is a purely tourist city, and outside of its attractions, the city is mainly dominated by souvenir shops, restaurants, cafes and hotels. The old town is small and can be reached by foot to all the attractions.
If you want to enjoy a quiet town, it's best to spend the night in the city, so that you can take a closer look at this old and wonderful town in the early morning and late afternoon when the crowds of tourists don't show up.
Rothenburg has a special sweet called "schneeball", which is a deep-fried pasta dish coated in powdered sugar or chocolate to represent a sweet gift for couples.
One of the most iconic features of Rothenburg, at the southern end of the Old Town, the stone road is bisected in a "Y" shape with different slopes along the terrain. On both sides of the path are beautiful traditional wood-framed houses with a small fountain. It's a microcosm of Rothenburg's characteristic streetscape.
On the side of the market square (Marktplatz), the Rothenburg Town Hall is a mixture of Gothic and Renaissance styles, and the building dates back to the 14th century. Climb to the 52-meter-high bell tower platform for a panoramic view of the town. At the same time, the market square, with the town hall in the background, is also the center of the Christmas market.
Before coming to Germany, friends who had lived in Germany recommended Heidelberg to Yunluo, and Goethe's sentence "Yunluo left his heart in Heidelberg" made Yunluo full of expectations for the city.
The whole old town of Heidelberg is a big picture. The green hills in the background, the green water of the Neckar River, the ruins of the ancient castle carved with the vicissitudes of history, and the old city with scattered spires and deep stone paths, the so-called fairy tales are nothing more than that.
What is particularly special is that the ruined castle, its incomplete, unrefined, and the story of the years buried in the broken wall, has also been soothed by time, touching people's hearts with the beauty of its shortcomings, and still not losing the style of a king, and has also become one of the symbols of Heidelberg.
