Enjoying an ice cream in street cafés, taking long walks along the Rhine, and visiting the many baby animals at Cologne Zoo. Spring has finally arrived, and it's making us fancy a lovely city break in Cologne, at the PhiLeRo Hotel Köln. Nature is already showing its delicate green everywhere, and spring flowers are sprouting in the parks and on the beautiful squares. Spring in Cologne is worth a visit. With family or your best friend.
What our guests love to do in spring are these excursions:
Discover Cologne from above:
One Cable car ride Over the Rhine. Because this view of Cologne from above is unique. Between March and November, 44 gondolas shuttle daily between the Rheinpark on the right bank of the river and the zoo on the Left Bank.
To visit a theme park
At last, the theme parks are open again too. Phantasialand opens in June.
Rediscover playgrounds and outdoor swimming pools
But even before that, the numerous adventure playgrounds will be great fun for all our little guests.
Among the most beautiful playgrounds in Cologne:
And very slowly, one can also start thinking about the outdoor swimming pool. The Vingst Natural Outdoor Pool is located in a beautiful, green area and is only 1.8 km from the PhiLeRo Hotel Cologne. Within walking distance, so to speak... The quarry lake has excellent water quality and there's an adventure playground for children.
The address: Naturfreibad Vingst, Vingster Ring, 51107 Cologne
The Aqualand at Fühlinger See also has many fans. It's about 10 km to drive, but it's worth it. Great slides for the children and the young at heart, and a wonderful pool bar for those who enjoy well-made drinks in the sunshine.

Just sitting in the Cologne spring sunshine
Simply enjoy the beautiful and ever warmer weather. For example, on the Terrace with beer garden I'm the PhiLeRo Hotel. This is our absolute favourite spot.
