City tour through Cologne
Discover the vibrant metropolis on the Rhine
Cathedral and carnival - that's what people first associate with Cologne. But did you know that Cologne has had city rights for almost 2,000 years or that Cologne is of international importance in the chemical, automotive and media sectors?
Join us on a 90-minute tour of the vibrant metropolis on the Rhine and learn more about the eventful history of the city, its clubs and personalities. We will drive past many of the city's highlights, including the cathedral, the historic city wall, the banks of the Rhine including the Rheinauhafen, the zoo and the Mediapark.
During the tour, you have the opportunity to leave the bus at one of our 14 stops, explore the surrounding highlights on foot or visit one of Cologne's many museums and simply hop on the next bus - HopOn-HopOff makes it possible.

Would you like to see Cologne's city panorama not only from the land, but also from the water? Then our combined ticket is just the thing for you. Round off your HopOn HopOff tour with a 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 can of course enjoy a range of culinary delights.
Our partner Köln-Düsseldorfer offers you panoramic boat trips along the banks of the Rhine several times a day.
To take part in the boat trip, please present yourself at the Köln-Düsseldorfer sales point below the Hohenzollern Bridge (Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer, Landebrücke 8). On presentation of your combined ticket, you will receive your ticket for the boat tour and information as to whether there is still capacity for your desired trip. As it is essential that you register at the point of sale, we recommend that you book your trip well in advance.
