Top Active Leisure & Sport Spots in Cologne

Trust me, if you want to eat, hit up the cafe just outside. The food is way better than what I thought it would be and prices are really reasonable too.

Definitely try to catch a workshop—they’re usually super fun and a great way to pick up some new skills... I recommend checking out their next beginner class when you visit!

Consider buying your tickets online in advance—you can save a decent amount compared to what you'd pay on the day, plus you won't have to worry about sold-out events.

Make sure you arrive at your seat about 15 minutes before the match starts to catch all the pre-game excitement—it really sets the mood for the night.

If you’re planning on grabbing a bite, skip the arena food! Head to nearby restaurants like Hürth or Sülz for better prices and tastier options before the game.

Check the public transport schedule ahead of time; the U-Bahn is a lifesaver post-game, but it can get super crowded, and waiting for the next train can drain your excitement

Bring your own snacks and drinks! The café has limited options and can be pricier than grabbing something from a nearby supermarket

Don't skip the viewing area on the upper deck. It's a perfect spot to chill and enjoy watching others skate, especially if you're needing a break
