Cologne

Two-day Rhine city break to Cologne from Switzerland by train

Illustration of Cologne

Railtour Suisse offers a two-day city package combining return rail travel from Switzerland with one night in a 4-star Cologne hotel. The trip showcases the Rhine's most celebrated Gothic landmark, the UNESCO Cologne Cathedral, whose tower offers views across the city and river. You will have time to explore the old town's narrow alleyways with their historic buildings and traditional breweries, walk the Rhine promenade past cafés and parks, and see the Hohenzollern Bridge with its famous love locks. Direct train connections from Switzerland via Frankfurt or Basel make this an accessible introduction to independent rail travel in Germany. The two-day format suits travelers seeking a focused city break without an extended commitment.
