Travel information
Airport travel guide

Shared between the former German capital and the largest city of North Rhine–Westphalia, Cologne–Bonn Airport serves an important part of the country. These are three of the most interesting places to visit in the area:
- Cologne. Proud, cozy, but also very tech-savvy, Cologne mixes tradition and modernity to great effect. The city’s landmark number one, two, and three is naturally its imposing cathedral, but there are plenty of other buildings, cultural institutions, and entertainment venues to enjoy (check out the Belgian Quarter, the city’s most free-thinking area). Cologne’s city center is only about a 15-minute drive northwest of the airport.
- Düsseldorf. The capital of the North Rhine-Westphalia is often seen as a rival of Cologne, so it’s up to you to visit both and decide which one you like better. A large city with a surprisingly relaxed atmosphere, Düsseldorf charms visitors with its elegant shopping boulevard, the market of Carlsplatz, and unique areas like the Japanese Quarter. The drive from Cologne-Bonn Airport takes only about an hour.
- Bonn. Although considerably smaller than its two aforementioned neighbors, it was Bonn that was the capital of West Germany until 1990 and the reunification of Berlin and the rest of the country. Still maintaining some of its political importance, it is also home to attractions like the Beethoven Monument (arguably the city’s most famous son) and Poppelsdorfer Palace and Botanical Gardens. The drive from Cologne-Bonn Airport will take only about 20 minutes.
- Essen. The Ruhr region has historically been known for its steelworks, mines, and other industrial legacy, and there is perhaps no place that embodies it better than the neighboring city of Essen. The best place to learn about this relatively recent, but defining heritage is Zeche Zollverein, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a complex of museums in what has been called the most beautiful mine in the world. Essen is also known for its Bauhaus architecture and the more classically pleasing Villa Hügel on the coast of Lake Baldeney. The drive from the airport to Essen only takes about an hour and 15 minutes.
- Aachen. Equally famous for its high-quality universities and many spas, Aachen is rightfully considered one of the most enjoyable cities in this part of Germany. Located on the border with the Netherlands and Belgium, it is also only a short drive from the equally interesting cities of Maastricht and Liege which can be visited on the same trip (although make sure to ask the rental car supplier in advance if they permit you crossing the border). The drive from Cologne–Bonn Airport to Aachen takes only an hour.
