COLOGNE METRO - a travel guide


What's the best and only way to travel in Germany? The metro system, of course! And who better to point out all those wonderful spots overlooked in travel guides than a local.

OK, so I'm certainly not a local now, and I can't really claim to ever have been one, either. But I did live there for almost in a year, and I think that in this time I accrued a certain amount of local knowledge that could be useful to anyone travelling to the region that wants to know those useful things that the travel guides leave out – namely, what to do and where to go on a low budget. And, having been an intern, surviving on a half student-loan and €400 per month wage, I'm not lying when I promise that this is a travel guide for those with a very low budget indeed!

The links below will examine various areas in Cologne that I came to grow and love during my short stay, along with details on how to reach them using the city's metro system.

This is something that I should have written down a long time ago, but have been prompted to recently by a friend who is looking to move to the area for a few months and wanted a few tips – RACHELLE, this is for you.

I hope you enjoy my travel-guide.  Please feel free to leave comments with further suggestions.
