The route crosses Belgium, then enters Germany at Aachen. Police checks are possible at the German border, so every passenger should carry a passport (citizens of the EU, the EEA and Switzerland can use a national ID card instead). By train, you change stations in Paris or trains in Brussels, and the trip takes 5 hr 30 min at best.

Cologne’s main train station stands at the foot of the cathedral. During major trade fairs, traffic around the exhibition center is heavy: allow extra time.

In Cologne

Where we drop you off

At the address of your choice: hotel, the city center as close as possible to the cathedral, the main train station or the exhibition center.

For the return trip

We pick you up at the agreed time. For a round trip, ask us for a quote: your chauffeur needs time to rest between the two drives.
