The city Cologne
A football trip to Cologne will be an enriching experience. Not only was Cologne the most important city north of the Alps during the time of the Romans but its stunning cathedral (Dom), towering over the River Rhine, is a World Heritage Site.
The pedestrian area in the Old Town is packed with charming shops, cafés and restaurants – and where the historic squares Alter Markt and Heumarkt are located. Every year, a Christmas market sets up on the Alter Markt; the Heumarkt is where Carnival is celebrated. For a stunning bird’s eye view of the city, take the cable car over the Rhine.
There’s so much to do in Cologne, in fact, that you’ll never be bored during your football package! And whatever you do: don’t forget to sample the city’s world famous Kölsh beer.
The RheinEnergieStadion
FC Cologne plays its home matches in RheinEnergieStadion– giving you extra value in your football trip! Also known as Müngersdorfer Stadion, owing to the suburb it’s located within, the stadium can accommodate around 50,000 spectators during league games.
The renovated stadium was reopened in 1975 with a match between FC Cologne and Fortuna Cologne: FC Cologne won 1-0. In 2002-2004, the stadium was renovated once more and thanks to its revolutionary new lighting system changed its name to RheinEnergieStadion.
The atmosphere is ganz gemütlich which means there is no aggression – and even beer is sold in the stadium. A football package to FC Cologne in RheinEnergieStadion should be a fun affair!
