The domed Dom

Advantages: beautiful;, fascinating, reasonable, the coffins
Disadvantages: chrage for toilet and church, museum and website only in German

Last year I had a very unique opportunity to work in another country. I normally work at St Paul's Cathedral and got the chance to work in the Berlinerr Dom (Berlin Cathedral) for a week as an English tour guide. I was living right on top of my work place, as I was staying in a guest apartment in the cathedral's bell tower. I fell in love with Berlin and its cathedral so thought I would give you a virtual tour of this amazing building. Take a pew and sit back and enjoy. The Berlinerr Dom is very easy to get to as it is located in the central district of Mitte just by the Museum Island (where all the major museums are in Berlin). It is also just off one of Berlin's min streets Unter Den Linden, which runs from the Brandenburg Gate to the Berliner Dom and beyond. It is easy to get to the Berlinerr Dom.

Review of Berliner Dom

What a hotel

Advantages: Central location, close to Cathedral
Disadvantages: Busy

My wife and I visit the Dom regularly and it cannot be faulted. Central location next door to the Cathedral, close to the main shopping areas and 5 minutes walk from the River and the Old Town. We have visited for the Christmas Markets - and if you have a cathedral view room you can feel the market right outside your window, listen to the hustle and bustle and hear the musical enterainment. We have also visited the Koln Carnival and were woken every night at 1.00am by a full marching band parading up and down outside of the hotel - the locals told us it was part of the Carnival proceedings!!! Lke all Meridien hotels the restaurant is excellent ( the sunday brunch is something to behold ), the rooms are spacious and well appointed - the hotel was completely refurbished in 2003 and staff friendly and welcoming. ...

Review of Le Meridien Dom Hotel, Cologne

Good ol' Dom

Advantages: Cut above the Rest
Disadvantages: not worth the extra cost

Background: ----------------- Dom Perignon was the 17th century Benedictine monk who has gone down in history as the person who invented Champagne. His name was originally registered by Eugene Mercier. He sold the brand name to Moet & Chandon, which uses it as its prestige champagne Tasting! ---------- I have tried a good few (read: too many!) Champagnes in the last few years and recently had a bottle of the good stuff, a 1998 Dommy. My mother in law decided to get a few for her 50th b'day so like all good wine connoisseurs we decided to pit our taste buds aginst it. First the bottle. A touch of class resides in the label with little (read none) information given to the grapes used or other. However the label does stand out compared to others with its shield like style. (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are used in roughly ...
