Hotels in Altstadt-Nord, Cologne

Very central. Köln Hauptbahnhof is at the northern tip of the neighbourhood and serves S-Bahn, U-Bahn, regional, and long-distance trains. From there you can reach Cologne Bonn Airport in roughly 15 minutes by direct rail. Most of the city's main museums and shopping streets are within walking distance, and several tram and U-Bahn lines cross the area, connecting it to the university district, the trade-fair grounds, and southern neighbourhoods like Deutz and Ehrenfeld.

First-time visitors to Cologne benefit most, because the Cathedral, the Roman-Germanic Museum, Museum Ludwig, the Chocolate Museum, and the Rhine promenade are all reachable on foot. It also suits business travellers attending events at the Cologne trade fair (Koelnmesse), since the fairgrounds are one stop away by U-Bahn. Couples on a short break appreciate the restaurant and bar scene around Alter Markt. Families will find the riverside and the pedestrian zones easy to navigate. The area is less ideal for travellers who prefer a quieter, more residential feel.
