Köln ist mitten in Europa<br />
<strong>Cologne</strong> is at the heart of Europe<br />
<strong>Cologne</strong> is located at the heart of Europe. There are numerous ways to reach this convenient transport<br />
hub: for example the high-speed train connections from the Benelux countries, the many airline<br />
routes from the capital cities of Northern Europe or the extensive motorway network from the<br />
alpine countries. Even the Romans knew that “Colonia” should be established precisely here, and<br />
the tradition of a more than 2,000-year-old hub of trade, commerce and academia endures today.<br />
About 10 million passengers pass through <strong>Cologne</strong>/Bonn Airport each year. More than 25 airlines<br />
fly to over 125 destinations worldwide. The airport is an important crossroads for low-cost flights<br />
within Europe and ranks as the third largest air freight hub in Germany.<br />
