Located on a quiet street, the Wasserturm Hotel Cologne promises restful nights and a relaxing stay. The big city and its highlights are only a few walking minutes away. Our hotel is only five minutes from the Cologne Chocolate Museum and the river Rhine, and 10 minutes from the Koelnmesse exhibition and conference centre. Explore the hot spots from the top of the water tower before diving into the hustle and bustle of the lively city.
By car
Arriving via the A3 motorway, take the exit Köln Deutz and change to the A4 towards Aachen. Take the next exit to Köln Deutz again and cross the bridge. Continue straight after the bridge and go through the underpass. After the traffic light, take the first right after the bus stop. Then turn right again onto Kaygasse. You will not miss the tower there! On-site underground parking is available for € 29.00 per day.
By suburban railway (S-Bahn):
Take line 3, 4, 16 or 18 to the stop “Poststrasse”. From there, it takes only 2 minutes on foot to reach the tower.
Distances:
Cologne Cathedral is the 2nd highest church in Germany. In 1996, the building was declared UNESCO World Heritage. Climb up to the top and enjoy a breathtaking view across the city – you are sure to spot the water tower from there!
Cologne’s most visited museum is only 2 km away from the Wasserturm Hotel Cologne. Discover the city’s sweet side and learn everything there is to know about the history and the production of chocolate. At the end of your visit, you can satisfy your cravings by dipping a waffle into the sweet, sweet chocolate fountain. What a treat!
The 110-year-old bridge was the only bridge in Cologne that withstood the bombings of WWII without any major damage. However, in 1945 the Wehrmacht eventually did blow up the bridge to hinder the Allied Forces from crossing the Rhine. Rebuilt and reopened in 1948, the bridge is now a six-track railway bridge. A special eye-catcher are the love locks hanging everywhere from the bridge railings.

Cologne by night is magical. The entire city turns into a sea of lights, a spectacular view you do not want to miss! Rent a bike from Bike Station Cologne and go on a guided tour through the illuminated, nocturnal city. Maybe you will also pass the magical water tower?
Beach holiday feeling in the middle of the big city? Not a problem in Cologne, where you have a variety of beach clubs to choose from. If you prefer to enjoy the sunshine in more quiet surroundings, we recommend the “Kölsche Riviera” in the district of Rodenkirchen in the south of the city. Quiet bays on the riverside and plenty of traditional floating inns promise a Cologne experience of a different kind.
The German Sports & Olympics Museum is a vibrant cultural centre for German sports located by the Rhine in a historic customs hall from 1896. With around 2,000 carefully chosen items and installations, the museum sheds light on various aspects of sports. Moreover, the visitors can engage in physical movements at the interactive stations of the museum.
Beer garden, open-air cinema, festivals, flea markets and much more can be found at Odonien. The highlight of the extensive outdoor space is the beer garden with rich plants and bizarre metal sculptures that create an industrial yet inviting ambience that has so far been unmatched in Cologne.
Ehrenfeld is probably the most vibrant and up-and-coming areas of Cologne. Ever since its establishment during the Industrial Revolution, the district has been an innovative hub. The mix between working class, industrial heritage and free spirits still reflects in the area’s urban art today. Go on a guided tour to discover and soak up the colourful ambiance!
The Botanical Garden is Cologne’s oldest and therefore most traditional public park. It first opened in the 19th century. Nowadays, it attracts more than a million visitors each year. The Flora at the heart of the park is a historic building dating back to Gründerzeit. Nowadays, it is a popular venue for all sorts of events in Cologne.
The Belgian Quarter underwent a radical transformation over the past centuries. From being a residential area in the 19th century, it slowly but steadily became what is now one of Cologne’s hottest districts. It is a major hotspot for fashion and design, nightlife, street art and galleries. Go on your own adventure or take a guided tour through one of Cologne’s most diverse urban landscapes.
The former harbour is Cologne’s youngest district. It is characterised by distinctive historical warehouses and old cranes, and the new waterfront complex that stretches over 210,000 m². The waterfront district unites a mix of modern residential and office buildings, many cafés, restaurants and galleries. If you are interested in out-of-the-ordinary architecture, you have come to the right place.
The “Schäl Sick” definitely does not live up to anyone’s expectations of Cologne. One can already tell by the name, which means “wrong side” or “crooked side”, that a rather unusual experience will be awaiting them. Take a tour and explore neighbourhoods characterised by migration and gentrification, some rough yet exciting parts broken up by beautiful green spaces and innovative culinary concepts. Discover the other side of Cologne!
