To Do in Köln: Cable Cars

0 0

So many German cities have some sort of Seilbahn, be it cable cars in the sky or funicular trolley-like cable cars on the ground. Köln (Cologne) is no different; however, its cable cars move high overhead, crossing the Rhein from the air.

Köln’s cable cars, which are celebrating their 50th year in the air, fit a maximum of four passengers. The panoramic views of the city include the famous cathedral, the Kölner Dom.

You can either return directly after on the Seilbahn, or perhaps take a leisurely stroll through the park or visit the zoo.  If you don’t buy a round-trip ticket, you can catch a bus, the U-Bahn, or even a ferry nearby.  The ferry lets off near the cathedral.
