Using public transport in Cologne
Cologne's KVB network combines trams, underground sections and buses. The same rail line may run below the street and then at street level, so follow its line number and destination.
Why go
Public transport helps when a day reaches beyond the cathedral and compact central streets. KVB services connect with the wider VRS regional network, but ticket validity depends on the journey. Check the current zone and ticket options before travelling, especially if a regional train is part of the trip.
Useful to know
Check your destination and ticket validity in the current KVB or VRS journey planner before boarding.
Use the line number and destination shown at the stop; a tram can continue underground or return to street level.
