Here are some more pictures. One of them is of the cathedral (Dom), which towers over the city. It is located on the main square and is considered to be the primary tourist attraction. Building of the cathedral first began in 1248 and was not completed until 1880. Bulding was stopped from 1560-1842. It miraculously survived WWII and is one of the tallest cathedrals in Europe. History buffs can visit the attached link for more info. about the cathedral. Some of the other pictures are of a floating market on the Rhine. There is also a picture of a stall selling large heart-shaped cookies with icing on them. There were several stalls selling these and, apparently, they are not edible. They are for decoration only.
