From Phantasialand to Cologne
Getting to Cologne
Cologne is about 20 kilometres from Phantasialand. By car you'll be there in around half an hour. If you'd rather use public transport, first take the Phantasialand shuttle bus to Brühl station or to Brühl Mitte.
By train or Stadtbahn
From Brühl (Rheinl) station, the RE5, RB26 and RB48 run to Köln Hbf, right next to the cathedral. From Brühl Mitte, Stadtbahn line 18 runs to Cologne city centre; this journey takes longer, but it stops at more places in the city.
Keep an eye on the last shuttle bus from the park: in summer it leaves around 19:15, and during Wintertraum around 21:15. Check the Phantasialand website for the latest times.
Things to do in Cologne
Visit Cologne Cathedral, a Gothic cathedral on the UNESCO World Heritage List, right next to the central station. Then stroll through the Altstadt to the banks of the Rhine and across the Hohenzollernbrücke. Chocolate lovers should head to the Schokoladenmuseum on the Rhine. In winter, Cologne's Christmas markets make a lovely combination with Wintertraum.
