Changed timetables due to major construction sites from 12.07. to 19.09.2025

From Saturday, 12.07.2025, until probably Friday, 19.09.2025, there will be some massive restrictions on our tour in Cologne due to several major construction sites taking place in parallel in Cologne city center (closure of the Rhine bank tunnel at weekends, closure of Deutzer Brücke). Unfortunately, this also affects our city tour. In order to be able to show you as many highlights of the metropolis on the Rhine as possible, we have to keep adapting our route and therefore our timetable. We try to make as many stops as possible, but we cannot prevent stops from being canceled or postponed within the timetable.

In order to be able to react as flexibly as possible to the individual closures, we are operating 3 different timetables during the period mentioned. We have marked these with the letters A, B and C. Below this message you will find a calendar showing which timetable we will be using on which day. You can find the adjusted timetables on the page Cologne construction site timetables summer25 or you simply click

We would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.

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.
