    The formalities for travelling to Cologne

    • Currency: Germans, like the French, use the Euro.

    Your Nice-Cologne direct flight

    It’s the eternal question: for a Nice-Cologne flight, which terminal of Nice Côte d’Azur Airport should I go to? The response is simple, as only one airline flies to this city on the Rhine: with Eurowings, your Nice-Cologne will always depart from Terminal 1.

    Other questions? How early should I arrive at the airport on the day of my flight? This one is easy too: avoid stress by arriving at least 1 hour before departure to give yourself enough time to go through security screenings. Be sure to add an additional 15 minutes should you need to go to the airline counter to drop off bags or collect your ticket.

What to do in
Cologne ?

Formerly Roman, Cologne is one of Germany’s oldest cities. And one of its most modern as well! Devastated by the battles of WWII, it was able to get back on its feet in just a few decades, renovating and rebuilding by mixing old stones with new steel and glass. It’s an alliance between past and present that you’ll find even in their way of life. People here are forward-thinking, while remembering where they came from. It’s a philosophy of life that attracts millions of tourists each year.

  • Cologne, a surprising city

    See more See less

    Cologne always has the same effect on visitors, whether they come alone, with friends, or with that special someone. Everyone thinks a weekend will be well enough to explore the city. But when the time comes to leave, they're already planning their return to make up for all the things they missed. Because once you're here, temptation abounds!
    Which of the 40 or so museums should you see in this cultural hot spot? Which of the 90 different districts should you linger in to get a real feel for the city? Which kölsch (local craft beer) from which of the 20-odd local breweries should you sample? Which of the many traditional or trendy restaurants should you eat at? How should you finish off your night? In a fancy cocktail bar or frenzied electro club surrounded by some of the 75,000 students who light up Cologne nights?

  • The top 10 things to do in Cologne

    • Visit the Dom Cathedral, one of the most popular monuments in Germany. Climb its 500 steps to the top of its towers, 157 metres up. Admire the interior decoration, including the Shrine of the Three Kings, a reliquary of silver and precious stones.
    • Head to Belgium! The Belgian Quarter (Belgisches Viertel) is the hotspot for Cologne’s hipsters and artists. It’s full of unique cafés and restaurants, artist workshops, and the shops of jewellery and fashion designers.
    • Linger in the streets of Agnesviertel, the most charming of the historic centre quarters.
    • If you're a lover of modern art, check out the Ludwig Museum. It houses the largest collection of pop art outside of the US, and the 3rd largest collection of Picasso paintings in the world.
    • Stroll along the banks of the Rhine, sail down it on a boat tour, or even fly over it in the cable car that spans it.
    • Awaken your inner child at the zoo - one of the prides of Cologne - or Phantasialand, an amusement park that will take you round the world from Berlin in the roaring 20s to Imperial China by way of Africa, Mexico, and the land of the Vikings.
    • Test your nose. Visit the Fragrance Museum and learn about the skills of Giovanni Maria Farin - inventor of the famous “eau de Cologne” - and his descendants. You can even make your own fragrance in the workshop at House of 4711.
    • Discover the entire history of that most famous of delicacies by visiting the world’s best chocolate museum. Your tour will finish with an “obligatory” dip of a crisp wafer into their chocolate fountain.
    • Sip a glass of kölsch in one of the city's many bars. There are more than 20 varieties of this beer, which has been produced locally since the Middle-Ages. It’s known for its lightly fruity taste and clean finish.
    • Wish upon a romantic star by attaching your “love lock” to the grating of Hohenzollern Bridge. It won't be the only one! This magnificent bridge spans over 400 metres of the Rhine, holding up the 2 tons of metal left by lovers from all over the world.
