Where to stay in Cologne: best areas

Cologne is compact around the cathedral, and the metro and city rail link both banks of the Rhine. The district you pick changes the price and the feel of your stay. Here are the areas travellers choose most often:

• Altstadt and the centre. The old town around the cathedral and along the Rhine, with most of the sights. Most convenient for sightseeing, but busy and pricier.
• Belgisches Viertel. A trendy district of boutiques, cafés and restaurants. Loved for its local feel away from the crowds.
• Ehrenfeld. A multicultural, creative area with street art and clubs. A good pick for younger guests and lower prices.
• Deutz. On the right bank of the Rhine, with the fairgrounds and a view of the cathedral skyline. Practical for trade fairs.
• Near the main station. Hotels right by the Hauptbahnhof, steps from the cathedral. Handy for a short stay and connections.
