👍 It is not often seen when the station square goes directly to the main attraction of the city - Cologne Cathedral. You leave the station and immediately - wow! Breathtaking view of the cathedral. People often mention Cologne, station, cathedral, train, Cathedral, view, nice,

    (Translated by Google) It is not often seen when the station square goes directly to the main attraction of the city - Cologne Cathedral. You leave the station and immediately - wow! Breathtaking view of the cathedral. (Original) Не часто встретишь, когда вокзальная площадь выходит сразу на главную достопримечательность города - Кёльнский собор. Выходишь с вокзала и сразу - ух! Захватывающий дух вид на собор.

    Modern train station with lots of places to eat. The wow factor is when you turn left and see the Dom. Amazing

    The Köln Dom is a masterpiece to behold, its presence looms over the local and tourist alike in this bustling square. There are few places that allow you to drink in this gothic splendor like the bahnhofsvorplatz. Grab a coffee at one of the many nearby vendors and enjoy the new world hustle with the centuries old icon.

    It's actually a great place and there's always something going on. Unfortunately, it now smells like piss around the clock. A shame.

  • 5/5 Wilfried G. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) On Carnival and on the Monday of the Rose, the people here are even friendlier than usual. At least as here on arrival in Cologne by train. A friendly request for photos is almost always met. Go on my name to the Cologne pictures. What was more of a problem on Rose Monday was the storm and the cold showers. But has not impressed most of the jecke. (Original) Am Karneval und am Rosenmontag sind die Menschen hier noch freundlicher wie sonst. Zumindest wie hier bei der Ankunft in Köln mit dem Zug. Einer freundlichen Bitte für Fotos wird fast immer entsprochen. Geht ruhig mal über meinen Namen zu den Kölner Bildern. Was eher ein Problem war am Rosenmontag war der Sturm und die kalten Regenschauer. Hat aber die meisten Jecken nicht sonderlich beeindruckt.

    Large, busy forecourt in front of Cologne Central Station. Good meeting point and you can get everywhere quickly. Taxi rank is also available.

  • 5/5 Chris M. 4 months ago on Google • 385 reviews
    Good place to meet when arriving in Cologne by train, taxi or subway. There are enough parking spaces in the parking garages and side streets. Unfortunately with payment. You're immediately at Cologne Cathedral or you can go somewhere else together. You see + meet search here. Greetings from the square and Bergischen. Greet from Germany near Cologne.

    Not so nice a place with a dreary gray concrete look, very overcrowded and a few shady people out and about at night...

  • 5/5 Nirada 3 months ago on Google • 273 reviews New
    It is a large main train station. But it is well managed, clean, and has police patrolling all the time. The travel time notification board is always updated. Easy for travelers Really like the luggage locker. It is an automatic cabinet system. It is in front of the station before entering the platform.

  • 4/5 Manni M. 9 months ago on Google • 153 reviews
    Good view of the train station and cathedral. There are often demonstrations and rallies here. Pickpockets are also often on the move. Don't leave anything standing and keep a watchful eye and then you can enjoy the view of the cathedral in peace.

    (Translated by Google) The forecourt and the train station are not really exceptional, but there is a pretty swanky train station chapel next door. ⛪ ???????⚒️ (Original) Der Vorplatz und der Bahnhof sind nicht wirklich Außergewöhnlich, aber nebenan ist eine ganz schön protzige Bahnhofskapelle. ⛪ ???????⚒️

    (Translated by Google) The Cologne train station square is an incredible place. It is located at a nerve center of the city. This urban space bordering the historic Cologne Cathedral is ideal for stopping to observe the pulse of one of the most important cities in Germany. An amazing experience. (Original) La plaza de la estación de tren de Colonia es un lugar increible. Está ubicada en un punto neurálgico de la ciudad.

  • 3/5 Josef Philipp C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Parking here is extremely expensive. When parking without a parking ticket immediately the daily rate of € 35.00 is due. If you have to change money and come back, it is usually already too late. Very soon you have mail, 35.00 € + fees. Absolutely turn on lawyer, it's worth it. (Original) Hier zu parken ist extrem teuer. Beim Parken ohne Parkschein wird sofort der Tagessatz von 35,00€ fällig. Falls man passendes Geld wechseln muss und zurück kommt , ist es meistens schon zu spät. Sehr schnell hat man dann Post , 35,00€+Gebühren. Unbedingt Anwalt einschalten , es lohnt sich.
