Cologne Travel Guide

Cologne is easily accessible from Austria and Switzerland, especially while you sleep, with the comfortable ÖBB night trains. ÖBB Nightjets make a regular stop in the Rhine metropolis on their routes to Amsterdam and Brussels. During Carnival season, Cologne is known as the "fool's capital" of Germany. But the city is also famous year-round for its hospitality and open-mindedness.

Right outside the main train station, you'll be almost overwhelmed by the impressive sight of Cologne Cathedral. Cologne can also be the starting point for a boat trip on the Rhine.
