Summer, sun, and an exciting bike tour through Cologne.
The combination of sport and culture is on-trend, and you'll also get to meet nice fellow cyclists. There are various themed tours to discover Cologne by bike. However, our tip today bypasses the most important sights, and your guide will ensure you take the most scenic, low-traffic cycling routes.
Led by a guide who knows the city like the back of their hand, you'll experience the fascination of the cathedral city and learn a great deal about its 2,000-year history.
The entire cycling route is approximately 15 km long and, due to numerous stops, the tour takes about 3 hours. The start is at Eigelsteintor, around 600 metres from the main train station (approximately 6 km from the PhiLeRo Hotel Cologne), and bicycles and helmets are provided.
You discover the landmarks of the medieval Old Town, the Zoobrücke with skyline view, the famous Rhine Park and the Crane Houses. A popular photo stop is the bridgehead of the Hohenzollern Bridge, from where the famous photo of the Cologne Cathedral can be made for your own Instagram account. There is still much more to see; you can hardly discover the wonderful city of Cologne more intensely in 3 hours.
