Cologne as an event location

Cologne, one of the oldest cities in Germany, is a vibrant centre of culture and history. Situated on the Rhine, Cologne combines a rich past with a dynamic present. The city is famous for its imposing cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which characterises the cityscape.

Cologne’s cultural diversity manifests itself in its numerous museums, theatres and galleries. The Roman-Germanic Museum preserves the history of the city and its Roman heritage, while the Museum Ludwig presents an extensive collection of modern and contemporary art. Away from the museums, the historic city centre attracts visitors with its historic buildings, picturesque alleyways and lively squares that invite them to linger.

Corporate events in Cologne

Cologne is not only a popular venue for large trade fairs and public events, but also a first-class choice for corporate events of all kinds. The city offers a wide range of unique venues, from historic rooms in old castles or modern loft spaces with views of the Rhine to innovative conference centres equipped with the latest technology.

This diversity enables companies to find the perfect setting for conferences, workshops, company parties or team-building events.

Transport connections in Cologne

Cologne’s accessibility is a decisive factor for business travellers and event participants. The city benefits from its central location in Europe and an excellent transport infrastructure. Cologne/Bonn Airport offers direct flights to national and international destinations, while Cologne Central Station with its high-speed trains provides fast connections to German cities as well as neighbouring countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands and France.

The motorways around Cologne are part of a dense European road network that allows easy access by car.
