How to get to Cologne
|
|
Most European
visitors will either take the train to Cologne main
station ("Köln Hauptbahnhof") or arrive by air at Cologne/Bonn
Airport (Code: CGN). Visitors from overseas will usually
fly to Frankfurt/Main Airport (Code: FRA). From Frankfurt, there is an
efficient and fast ICE train connection to Cologne. Therefore do not try to
change flights in Frankfurt and fly into Cologne. If you arrive with
Lufthansa or StarAlliance, note that the train connection Frankfurt
Airport <-> Cologne has a Lufthansa flight number. You can very
conveniently check in and out at Cologne Main Station (Airport code:
QKL), and you will often get the train ride for free as a "connecting flight".
Düsseldorf airport (code: DUS) is also close to Cologne. At Düsseldorf airport
there is a train station from where there are frequent connections to "Köln Hauptbahnhof".

From Köln Hauptbahnhof
If you arrive at Cologne main station ("Köln Hauptbahnhof"),
then proceed downstairs to the subway station that is located under the main entrance hall
of the train station at the side of the cathedral. From there take a subway
(# 16 or 18, direction to "Neumarkt") and get off at "Neumarkt" (2 stops).
Then walk up the stairs to find the tram station
(take # 1, direction to "Weiden" or # 7, direction to "Frechen").
Get off at the next stop called "Rudolfplatz". The trip costs EUR 2.20
(look for K="Kurzstrecke"=short trip; up to 4 stops in total including stop of origin)
and tickets can be bought from the vending machines
in the stations, at some stops and inside the trams.
Unfortunately only coins are accepted. If you know a bit of the city
center, maybe you prefer to walk directly to Rudolfplatz; this should
take about 15 minutes from the main station. Once you are at "Rudolfplatz"
the hotel is within 1 minute walking distance: cross
Rudolfplatz and take the next street to the right.
From Köln Messe/Deutz
Many regional or long-distance trains also stop at "Köln Messe/Deutz", from where you can
directly get on tram # 1, direction to "Weiden" or # 7, direction
to "Frechen", without changing at "Neumarkt". Then follow the instructions
from the last paragraph. From "Köln Messe/Deutz" it is too far to walk to the hotel.
From Köln-Bonn Airport
Take a local train or S-Bahn from Köln/Bonn airport to
either "Köln Hauptbahnhof" or "Köln Messe/Deutz" and then follow the instructions above.
You will need a ticket "Preisstufe 1b" which costs EUR 3.20. A taxi will be about EUR 40-50.

Also,it is easy to walk from the hotel to Seminargebäude,
see here.
Alternatively,
walk to "Rudolfplatz" which is just around the corner from the hotel.
There look for buses # 136 (direction to "Hohenlind") or # 146 (direction to "Deckstein")
and take either bus to exit at "Hildegardis-Krankenhaus".
Then turn left into the street "Weyertal" and after a short walk
you will see the mathematics department's building on the left hand side
(street address: Weyertal 86-90). Then take a 4 minutes walk you will arrive Seminargebäude, see here.
For each of the bus trips you will need to buy a ticket K="Kurzstrecke"=short trip, which is EUR 2.20.
