Arriving in Cologne by train
Cologne has two major rail arrival points: Köln Hauptbahnhof beside the cathedral and Köln-Deutz across the Rhine. Check which station your train uses before planning the last part of your journey.
The station name changes your first move in Cologne. Köln Hauptbahnhof puts you beside the cathedral and central sights; Köln-Deutz places you on the opposite bank, with the Rhine crossing between you and the old town. Check current connections for international journeys or transfers from Frankfurt Airport.
Useful to know
Confirm whether your ticket ends at Köln Hauptbahnhof or Köln-Deutz before choosing accommodation or an onward connection.
If you arrive at Köln-Deutz and are heading for the cathedral, allow for the Rhine crossing.
