    (Translated by Google) A good opportunity for us "Cologne first-timers" to get a nice view of Cologne and the Rhine from above. The return trip costs €7.50 and takes about 10 minutes. The staff is nice and helpful. On the side away from the city you can then get off and walk through the park to the Rhine beach (with a beer garden in summer). We enjoyed it. (Original) Eine gute Gelegenheit für uns "Köln-Ersties" einen schönen Ausblick auf Köln und den Rhein von oben zu nehmen. Die Fahrt kostet hin und rück 7,50€ und dauert ca.10 Min. Das Personal ist nett und hilfsbereit. Auf der stadtfernen Seite kann man dann aussteigen und zum Rheinstrand ( im Sommer mit Biergarten) durch den Park laufen. Wir haben es genossen.

    This was great fun! Take an uber to the start, will kost you about 10 euros. Than in about 10 minutes you will glide over the water. Funny fact: you cross over a spa. you'll see some naked people chilling in the chairs beside the pool, haha. When you dock on the other side, make sure to walk back through the big park, its very well preserved.

    (Translated by Google) Cable car that offers very nice views of Cologne over the Rhine River. The price of admission is affordable (€5 per person and trip) and it is a good way to connect the zoo and the Ferris wheel with the Reihnpark. (Original) Teleférico que ofrece unas vistas muy bonitas de Colonia sobrepasando el río Rin. El precio de la entrada es accesible (5€ por persona y viaje) y es una buena manera de conectar el zoo y la noria con el Reihnpark.

    Wunderschön mal mir der Gondel einfach über Rhein zu fahren und alles auf sich wirken zu lassen. Super schöne Aussicht und der ganzen Familie hat es Spaß gemacht. Könnte aber 1 bis 1,50€ günstiger sein. Nichtsdestotrotz war es ein hervorragender Ausflug nach Köln wo alle auf ihre Kosten kamen. Würden wir jederzeit wieder machen. Definitiv ein Top Ausflugstipp wenn man in Köln ist bzw dort hin fährt.

    (Translated by Google) Take the cable car to the Rheinpark and back and enjoy the beautiful view. So you can see and photograph Cologne from a different perspective. Most of the time you hover directly over the Rhine, but you also cross the zoo bridge, which can result in very interesting motifs to take photos. (Original) Mit der Seilbahn zum Rheinpark und zurück und dabei die schöne Aussicht genießen. So kann man Köln auch einmal aus einer anderen Perspektive sehen und fotografieren. Die meiste Zeit schwebt man direkt über dem Rhein, aber man überquert auch die Zoobrücke, was sehr interessante Motive zum fotografieren ergeben kann.

    Close to the tram station. Has a ticket and will get discount if you hold the 24stunden ticket. The cable car ride is between the West and east banks of the river Rhine.

    Great fun for families! The views are amazing. It's fine to have a single journey from the Jugend Park; you just pay when you arrive at the other side (Zoo).

    Last ride 17:45. Who closes a popular thing that early? People can't even get away from work yet. Specially drove there but couldn't take the ride.

    Ein Fahrt mit der Seilbahn über den Rhein sollte man wirklich einmal in Köln gemacht haben. Sie dauert zwar nicht lange, aber Blick ist sensationell.

    Nice cable car that crosses the Rhein river. Not expensive and great views. Just a heads up that there is not much to see on the other side so make sure to buy a return ticket.

  • 5/5 İlhan Ozan T. 1 year ago on Google • 61 reviews
    It is a great experience to pass over the river and have a wonderful view of Cologne. I highly recommend. You can take only one way, then walk along the park aside the river to the city center.

    Cable car experience for just 5euros for oneway travel and 9 euro for return journey

  • 5/5 Hasan Al O. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Simply beautiful - I can only recommend it to get to know Cologne from a different perspective! (Original) Einfach schön - nur zu empfehlen, um Köln aus einer anderen Perspektive kennenzulernen!

  • 5/5 Kai S. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It was fun to float over the Rhine in the cable car. Just right in terms of price. Always worth a visit. (Original) Hat Spaß gemacht mit der Seilbahn über den Rhein zu schweben. Vom Preis her genau richtig. Immer einen Besuch wert.

  • 2/5 Kalle D. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Not recommended if you want to do a round trip from the right bank of the Rhine. One is forced to Get out of the zoo and queue a second time (another 30 minutes waiting time). Not much fun with children. Unfortunately, it is not pointed out anywhere. Please check the internal processes to see if that doesn't work better. The other way around, you can stay seated on the train. (Original) Nicht zu empfehlen wenn man vom rechtsrheinischen eine Rundtour machen möchte. Man ist gezwungen am Zoo auszusteigen und sich ein zweites Mal anzustellen (nochmal 30 Minuten Wartezeit). Mit Kindern kein großer Spaß. Leider wird man nirgends darauf hingewiesen. Bitte mal die internen Abläufe prüfen, ob das nicht besser geht. Andersherum kann man in der Bahn sitzen bleiben.

    (Translated by Google) Great attraction for this city. Great view of the Rhine, city center and Cologne Cathedral. Just taking pictures through the glass window doesn't work very well. (Original) Tolle Attraktion für diese Stadt. Toller Blick auf den Rhein, Stadtzentrum und Kölner Dom. Nur fotographieren klappt durch die Glasfenster nicht besonders.

    (Translated by Google) Despite the rain, everything worked even on Sunday. One way ticket 4.8 euros. Traveling in the booth took about 7-10 minutes total (landing - flight to the river, disembarkation). A friend forgot the phone in the booth - the attendants immediately gave him (after landing they immediately go into the booth, wipe the glass). And by the way, right after landing you find yourself near thermal waters - pools - spa. (Original) Не смотря на дождь- все работало даже в воскресенье. Билет в одну сторону 4,8 евро . Путешествие в кабинке заняло около 7-10 мин итого( посадка - полёт на рекой- высадка ). Друг забыл телефон в кабинке - обслуживающий персонал сразу отдал ему ( они после высадки сразу заходят в кабинку , протирают стёкла ). И кстати , сразу после высадки вы оказываетесь возле термальных вод - бассейны - spa.

    (Translated by Google) Totally worth the money. € 7.50 per person (round trip) (Original) Absolut das Geld wert. Je Person (hin- und Rückfahrt) 7,50€

  • 5/5 Александр �. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's great to ride over the river. Payment only from the side of the city center, from the side of the park you can sit down without a ticket - when you exit on the other side you pay. (Original) Классно прокатиться над рекой. Оплата только со стороны центра города, со стороны парка можно садиться без билета - при выходе на другой стороне оплата.

  • 3/5 Bernhard D. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice experience, nice Ausdich from above on the Rhine. Unfortunately you have to wait a long time on the zoo side, you should allow at least 30 minutes. (Original) Schönes Erlebnis, schöne Ausdich von oben auf den Rhein. Leider muss man auf der Zoo Seite lange warten, 30 Minuten sind mindestens einzuplanen.

    Great experience, good view

    You're better off with the KhölnTriangle which is full 360° panaromic view of the city for €5. The kabellift is a bit short and wasn't particularly exciting, perhaps even boring. The staff (except the helpful cashier) wasn't really friendly either, maybe it was the weather or they had a bad day. All by all, I think the kabellift reviews are overrated. If you do decide to go, I recommend taking one trip.
