Cologne is not only worth a visit for the world-famous carnival. Germany's carnival stronghold with its magnificent old town and the breathtaking Cologne Cathedral is just an easy drive away in a rental car from, for example, Cologne Bonn Airport. A rental vehicle from the Enterprise Rent-A-Car car rental in Cologne is also practical if you want to see more than just one city or need to travel further afield on business, with the former German capital Bonn just an hour's drive away and the Ruhr region to the north. History at every turn, which you can experience up close with an Enterprise Rent-A-Car vehicle of your choice via the region's excellent transport network. We are never far away. Our city branches are located in Cologne Porz Fleischhauer, Procar Marsdorf, Cologne Zollstock, Cologne Bilderstöckchen, Cologne Mülheim and Cologne Ehrenfeld. The nearest airports are Cologne/Bonn and Düsseldorf.

Cologne — More than just carnival!

Cologne is the most populous city in North Rhine-Westphalia. Over one million people live in the Rhine metropolis. This makes Cologne the fourth largest city in the country, after Berlin, Hamburg and Munich, exciting and colourful.


Cologne's landmark, the world-famous cathedral, is visible from afar. The foundation stone was laid in 1248. Today, many thousands of curious visitors visit the World Heritage Site every year.

It is surrounded by one of the most beautiful old towns in Germany. It is located directly on the Rhine and exudes historical flair. A real 'Kölsch' in one of the typical breweries is simply a must!

The entire city area stretches over more than 150 square miles — a perfect way to experience it in a rental car. During Cologne Carnival, the streets of the city centre are filled with dressed-up revellers and there are celebrations everywhere. Cologne makes things simple. Everyone is welcome!

You don't just feel welcome in the city centre. If you are smart and have chosen a rental car, you can explore the Cologne-Ehrenfeld district under your own steam. The multi-cultural district with its charming side streets offers countless quirky boutiques and creative shops, including for second-hand bargain hunters.

Got some time left? Then jump in your Enterprise Rent-A-Car rental car and take a trip to the nearby Eifel region, which offers beautiful walks.

Driving in Cologne

Cologne has a clear parking guidance system. It tells you where and how many free parking spaces can be found in the car parks in Cologne city centre.

The signs in the city also show the current number of free parking spaces in these car parks.

Park and ride spaces are an attractive and environmentally friendly alternative to finding a parking space. There are already over 120 such amenities in Cologne and the surrounding area with more than 22,000 parking spaces.

On the website of the City of Cologne you will find all the important information about traffic in Cologne.
