Overview

IMPORTANT INFORMATION : AUDIO GUIDE ONLY. ENTRY TICKET NOT INCLUDED. Since 1 July 2026, Cologne Cathedral charges tourists a separate €12 entry fee, bought directly from the cathedral. You will need it for this tour. Entry stays free for worshippers. This is an independent self-guided audio tour, available only in the Tourific app. After booking, search "Tourific" in your email for access instructions. Questions? Contact our support team.

TOUR DESCRIPTION: Step inside one of Europe's most iconic cathedrals, 600 years in the making, and unlock the stories carved into its stones. Your journey opens with the cathedral's history, then pauses at the portal, where sculptures retell the Bible and medieval life. Then into legends like St. Ursula's martyrdom, and the lesser known Rights of the Jews plaque. The climax is the breathtaking Shrine of the Three Kings, believed to hold the relics of the Wise Men. Perfect for travellers who love history and stories.
