Citytour in Cologne

Discover the vibrant metropolis at the Rhine

Cathedral and carnival - that's what people associate first with Cologne. But did you know that Cologne has had city rights for almost 2,000 years or that Cologne has an international significance in the chemical, automotive and media sectors?

Come and join us for a 90-minute ride through Cologne and learn more about the eventful history of the city, associations and personalities. During the tour we will pass many of the city's highlights, including the cathedral, the historic city wall, the banks of the Rhine including Rheinauhafen, the zoo and the Mediapark.

During the trip you habe the possibility to leave the bus at one of our 14 stops, explore the surrounding highlights on foot or visit one of Cologn's many museums and simply get on the next bus - HopOn-HopOff makes it possible.

Cologne City Tour incl. - boat trip

You would like to see the Cologne city panorama not only from the land but also from the water? Then offers our combinated ticket just the right thing. Round up your HopOn-HopOff tour with an approx. 60-minute city tour from the water. This will give you a completely different view of Cologne's beautiful Rhine panorama. During the boat trip, you will of course have a gastronomic offer at your disposal.

Several times a day, our partner Köln-Düsseldorfer offers panoramic boat trips along the banks of the Rhine for you.

To take part in the boat trip, please move to the Köln-Düsseldorfer ticket office below the Hohenzollern bridge (Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer, Landebrücke 8). There you will receive your ticket for the boat trip and information on wether there ist still capacity for your desired trip upon presentation of your combined ticket. Since registration at the ticket office is mandatory, we recommend that you reserve your trip early.
