Arrival by
train. It's comfortable and nice arriving in
Cologne by rail. That's because the main station stands
just beside the Cathedral in the heart of Cologne. And
after leaving the train you will see yourself standing
under an impressing wide roof construction built in 1890
of iron and glass. more |

Arrival by
plane. When taking an aircraft travelling to Cologne, we suggest arriving at
the modern and clear airport Cologne near the city. It's
located bet- ween Cologne and Bonn. That means a very short
distance (about 15 km) to reach the inner city of Cologne
by taxi, urban train or (rental car). more |

Tips for your journey
Visiting
Cologne the first time or returning here after long time ago? If
so and you're part of a travel group, we recommand booking and
joining a guided tour into Cologne's breathtaking cathedral that
is the largest one in the world. Afterwards your guide leads you
into the old town near the river rhine where you can see and
feel how lovely this place of 2000 years' history really is.
Another focus lying on the city's most popular beer called
"Kölsch" is part of our brewery pub tour where we
show you some nice locations and their history. Try and taste
some of the specialities of the menu card and feel like home in
Cologne. Our third programme is walking through the old town
like mentioned above and continue this tour by a roundtrip on
the river rhine. Breath the fresh air on deck of the ship and be
impressed of the unforgetable view on Cologne's landmarks and
sights on both sides of the river bank. more
