Gerard MenvussaSeptember 5, 2014As a local playful tradition, the track for your train is randomly changed about 2 mins before departure. So follow any giggling crowd that was waiting with you if they start running downstairs.Upvoted Feb 15
Stephen CrockerDecember 7, 2014An impressive station with a wide range of shops and restaurants. The luggage store is a very clever system involving booths and conveyors. If you have time, there is a model railway in one passage.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
It’s just a plain boring train station that is not ancient enough to be a beautiful architectural display and not modern enough to blow you away. There’s a Rewe City Express and food places at least.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
If you have some time before your connecting train arrives, go and explore the cathedral. Entrance is free and it’s just outside the station. You can easily spend an hour there. :-)
103372 -9June 21, 2017Try ICE for the travel. Wagon 1 is suitable for working on computer during travel. It is definitely on time. Do not miss the train time.
Vangelis KoukidisMarch 15, 2019The typical German central railway station: a LOT of food, a supermarket, some shopping, a pharmacy, bookstore, anything you may need. Oh, plus trains to eeeverywhere.
BayarmaaSeptember 6, 2013Very busy station, with lots of stores, when you get out of the station, the Cologne Cathedral is right in front of you.
This is a great station ! Shady characters outside, but no better place to catch a train from in Cologne.
If you have to wait check out the beautiful industrial roof construction.
Zloy BudunSeptember 15, 2014Likes: just next to the magnificient Dom. Has a hotel around the corner if you have to stay overnight
Filip D.August 14, 2014Love to arrive right in the heart of the city ! Out if the train station and next to the Dom !- Fatih DemirSeptember 15, 2016A very big stations actually you can find anything you want. But some corners really stink.
Nick CrawleyJanuary 4, 2018Shed a tear for the presumably long-gone model railway and flippy sign board thingy. The latter probably for the best.
J KoflerAugust 27, 2018Plus: very central, right next to Kölner Dom. Minus: if you have to wait for your train (because it's late - again), not many places to sit, very hot in summer, Wifi not always working. Toilet paid...
Always make sure to visit the Starbucks. The underground on the backside is not so crowded, rather go there than to the main one.
MnR 💙July 28, 2016It's not that big and all the stores under the ground, you need to go underground to change between platforms
Adam DMay 6, 2012Put 2.50 into the bag storage and watch the magic as it stores them somewhere for you. If you're longer than two hours you'll have to pay another 2.50, but your bags will still be safe.
The real problem in those trainstations is there are no screen gathering all departures near the stairs leading to the platforms.- 爱情May 13, 2019❗️aware of the ticket machines; cause they may take your money, still say that you’re lack of some amount you’ve already paid and may not give your money back when you cancel your purchase❗️
Very nice station. Quite clean and a lot of stores and places to eat.- Chris R (thechristophe)April 6, 2015Impressive arch, loads of eateries, centrally located for access to Cologne cathedral.
There are lot of shop around this place. pretty busy station. there some good fast restaurants in this place
PeterJanuary 6, 2015Beware of thieves that work in groups here. On the platforms, they will spray paint on your bags/clothes and then offer tissues to help clean up. Then, another guy will walk away with your bags.
Caribbean TriangleJanuary 14Big Station,with different kind of restaurants, coffe shops, supermarket and even public showers.- Open 24h a day, this station can get very crowded. The toilet is paid.
Kim GeeJanuary 12, 2014Be sure to never take your eyes off your bags, even if you think you're carrying them securely. Skilled thieves everywhere. I've had thousand dollars worth of camera equiptment stolen within seconds.
It has so many food options, you will definitely find something you like!
Cagdas DincApril 10, 2012I always stop for a coffee break in Segafredo. Definitely best coffee shop in the station.
Annix L.June 10, 2019Luggage storage: automated machines (3-6€, a very interesting system) or in the luggage office (6€/piece)- Thomas CraenenFebruary 17, 2016International trains arrive here. The Kölner Dom is just opposite to the train station.
Don't expect the trains to arrive on time. In fact, don't expect them to arrive at all. Plan your trip with plenty of spare time due to delays. ;)
Would be great if it had a proper 24h supermarket rather than the smallish REWE to go shop.
RFG MusicMay 28, 2012atch your bags & pockets...ppl steal everything they can get their hands on...look for suspicious lookin lil kids, walking around alone...
Johan BovéJanuary 27, 2014Where the beer is cheaper than bottled water. 2.35€ for a small bottle of stilles wasser is a total ripoff.
