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.
