🇩🇪 Cologne

Major

Germany

Köln Hauptbahnhof is one of der verkehrsreichste Bahnhofs in Deutschland and in Europe, located immediately beside the towering Gothic spires of Köln Cathedral — a view that makes arriving here one of the most dramatic entrances of any major terminus. It is a principal node for Thalys and Eurostar services to Brüssel, Paris, and London, for ICE Hochgeschwindigkeitszüge to Frankfurt, Berlin, and Amsterdam, and for Regionaldienste across Nordrhein-Westfalen. The station's through-running design accommodates an extraordinary volume of trains daily, and the adjacent S-Bahn and U-Bahn Netzs extend its reach deep into the Köln metropolitan area.
