St. Aposteln
A Romanesque basilica featuring a cloverleaf-shaped choir and a 67-meter-high west tower. Sightseeing is only possible outside of service hours. Group tours must be arranged in advance via the parish office; information on public guided tours is available on their website.

Roonstrasse Synagogue
The Cologne Synagogue is architecturally striking for its dark, monumental style. Its Torah scroll has a significant history, having been rescued by a Catholic priest from another synagogue during the Nazi era. In 2005, Pope Benedict XVI visited the site, marking only the second time in history that a pope had visited a synagogue. Guided tours are available; please consult the official website for schedules and booking information.
The famous German art merchants and auctioneers, founded in 1845 (although the building is from 1952, reconstructed after the Second World War).
