Travel to Cologne

Landing in Cologne soon? Here's what to know before you go.

From currency and getting around to twin-spire Gothic cathedrals, padlock-heavy bridges over the Rhine, and a lively, highly localized beer hall culture, we've got the essentials covered for your trip to Germany's cathedral city.

Language & Currency

Official language German German is the official language, with the beloved local Kölsch dialect spoken playfully by residents. English is widely spoken and well understood in museums, shops, and central beer halls.
Payments Euro (€) While cards are accepted in major shops, many traditional Kölsch beer halls ("Brauhäuser") operate on a cash-only basis or accept only local debit cards. Keep some cash on hand.

Getting Around

Fastest KVB Stadtbahn (U-Bahn/Trams) The combined subway and tram network is highly extensive and reliable. Simply download the KVB app or purchase a ticket at the station machines before boarding
Also popular S-Bahn & Rhine Ferries The S-Bahn (S11 or S19) connects Cologne-Bonn Airport to Cologne Central Station (Hauptbahnhof) in just 15 minutes. Scenic river cruises are highly popular in summer

Top Attractions

Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) A colossal Gothic masterpiece, UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Germany's most visited landmark, famous for housing the gilded Shrine of the Three Kings.
Hohenzollern Bridge The iconic, arching rail bridge covered in hundreds of thousands of colorful "love padlocks," offering the absolute best photo views of the Cathedral skyline
The Altstadt (Old Town) Wander through narrow cobblestone lanes along the Rhine, lined with colorful, reconstructed historical houses, quiet squares, and traditional pubs

Events & Culture

Nov 11 – Feb/Mar Cologne Carnival "The Fifth Season" peaks in February. The entire city dresses in elaborate costumes for massive street parades, live outdoor music, and non-stop pub celebrations
Beer Hall Etiquette The Refilling Coaster Rule Traditional Kölsch beer is served in small 0.2-liter glasses called "Stangen." Waiters, known as "Köbes," will keep bringing fresh glasses and mark each one on your coaster. Place the coaster on top of your empty glass to signal that you're finished.
Year-Round Halve Hahn & Heaven and Earth Try the traditional "Halve Hahn"—a rye roll served with medium-aged Gouda cheese and mustard—or the hearty "Himmel un Ääd" (mashed potatoes and apples served with blood sausage).
