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) using a no-frills-airline. Visitors from overseas
will usually
land in Frankfurt/Main Airport (Code: FRA). Form Frankfurt, there is a
very
efficient and ultra-fast train connection to Cologne: 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.
