Getting around central Cologne

The cathedral and Rudolfplatz are close enough to connect on foot, while regional trains serve longer hops. Decide by distance before defaulting to a tram or train.

Why go

Walking gives a direct way to link central sights without navigating an extra platform or transfer. For a trip beyond the centre, distinguish the S-Bahn and other regional trains from the city's tram network, then check the relevant departure and ticket before setting out.

Useful to know

  • Consider walking between Rudolfplatz and the cathedral when you want to see the streets between them.
  • For longer trips, check whether the departure is an S-Bahn or another regional train and buy the appropriate ticket before boarding.
