Passes

If you plan on ticking off most of the sites, it may be worth investing in the KölnCard which gives reduced-price admission to most attractions and excursions as well as free travel on all public transport. The card is available from the tourist office or online.

Visa and passport information is updated regularly and is correct at the time of publishing. You should verify critical travel information independently with the relevant embassy before you travel.
