The cathedral, the Rhine and the old town are close to the central station, making Cologne a rewarding city break by rail.

Planning notes
Köln Hauptbahnhof sits beside the cathedral. Some long-distance trains use Köln Messe/Deutz across the Rhine instead. Confirm the station and leave time for any cross-city transfer.
