14. The third day we visited Cologne. It is Germany's fourth-largest city, and is the largest city both in the German Federal State of North Rhine- Westphalia and within the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Area, one of the major European metropolitan areas with more than ten million inhabitants. Cologne is located on both sides of the Rhine River. The city's famous Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) is the seat of the Catholic Archbishops of Cologne. It is dedicated to Saint Peter and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The cathedral is a World Heritage Site, one of the best- known architectural monuments in Germany, and Cologne's most famous landmark, described by UNESCO as an "exceptional work of human creative genius". It is Germany’s most visited landmark, attracting an average of 20,000 people a day.

We had a lot of fun, but at the same time we worked with dedication and professionalism, thus reaching the initial objectives of our trip.
