Train

Take the train to Köln-Messe/Deutz. There are several cheap rates offered by Die Bahn. If you’re planning to travel via train from abroad, simply check the homepage of your national train company.

Köln HBF (Cologne Central Station) → Köln-Messe/Deutz

Depending on where you are travelling from you can just stay seated, for many trains arriving at the central station in Cologne Köln-Deutz is the next stop (or the stop before the main station). Be sure to check your train schedule though. If you really have to get out at Köln HBF to take a look at the cathedral, try this to get to Köln-Deutz: Take the S6 or S12. After two or three minutes you will arrive at Köln-Messe/Deutz and exit there. The tickets for this trip are called “Cityticket 1b”. You should have coins handy.

Köln-Messe/Deutz → Partyplace

Once you arrived at Köln-Messe/Deutz go down to the subway and watch for signs that advertise lines 1 or 9. Take one of these Trains (direction Bensberg or Königsforst) and exit at Kalk-Kapelle. Exit the station on the right in direction of travel, take a sharp right turn and go straight ahead into the Wiersbergstraße. After a minute of walking you should see an iron fence gate across the street, pass through it on the left side to enter the industrial area, where the Abenteuerhallen (“AH” over the entrance) is located on your right side.

Mobile & Apps

The local transport association VRS has a mobile version of the timetable online. In addition they offer Apps for both iPhone and Android devices.

Busses are a cheap way to get around in Europe. If you don’t fear a long voyage and want to come to Evoke for a more than reasonable price, this might be something for you.
