What is the central station?

It is Cologne’s station, right below the cathedral, and one of Europe’s great rail hubs, with the Hohenzollern Bridge over the Rhine beside it.

Getting around from here

The cathedral is outside the exit and the old town five minutes away. Across the bridge are the Koelnmesse and the Lanxess Arena, one train stop away.

When the hotels fill up

During Carnival, big Koelnmesse fairs and in Advent, hotels around the station fill up early.

Hotels on the cathedral square and the streets towards the old town are the most convenient. In Deutz, across the Rhine, there are cheaper hotels with cathedral views.
