Photography Tips
Try to avoid the loads of tourists at this spot and get there at sunset or sunrise.
Sunset will give you illuminated windows of the cathedral, because it sets right behind the building.
Sunrise gives you good light to see every detail on the church, because the sun rises on the other side of the rhine.
