K枚lnTriangle Panorama (Triangle Observation Deck), Cologne

K枚lnTriangle Panorama (Triangle Observation Deck), Cologne (must see)

Perched atop the sleek K枚lnTriangle building, the Triangle Observation Deck isn鈥檛 just a fancy name鈥攊t鈥檚 a 103-meter-high front-row seat to Cologne in all its sprawling glory. The building itself is shaped like a Reuleaux triangle, which basically means someone got fancy with a geometry set and decided curves were cooler than corners. Bonus: Its double-skin south facade acts like the building鈥檚 lungs, breathing in fresh air for your convenience.

Up at the top, the observation deck delivers a full panoramic wow-factor. Directly across the Rhine, the Cologne Cathedral poses majestically like it knows it鈥檚 being watched (because it is). The deck is outdoors but protected by glass panels, so you can embrace the wind in your hair without worrying about losing your hat鈥攐r your dignity.

Feeling peckish after all that skyline admiration? There's a rooftop restaurant that serves up views and food, both equally worth savoring.

Whether you're a daytime wanderer or a dusk-chaser, the deck stays open from sun-up to starlight, letting you witness Cologne flip its switch from postcard-perfect to nighttime sparkle.
