We think there are few things better than exploring a city - especially if you don't have to dig deep into your pockets. Cologne, a city full of history, culture and a lively atmosphere, offers just that: free experiences for an unforgettable weekend. Because on ⏰ April 6 and 7, the Discover Cologne Day will take place for the fifth time. Whether you're new to the city or have lived here for ages, you'll get to know Cologne in a very special way. VisitKöln has worked hard to offer you a varied program ranging from art and music to the culture of the Büdchen.

What can you expect this weekend?

More than 30 free city tours and experiences spread across the city. Whether on foot or by bike, from Rodenkirchen to Weiden, there is something for everyone to discover. What's particularly exciting is that many of the tours and experiences have been developed in collaboration with local communities and partners. This not only gives you an insight into Cologne's tourist attractions, but also into the diversity and creativity of the local people.

Better be quick!

Well, here's the deal: even though the tickets don't cost a penny, places are limited. That means you'll still have to hurry to secure your free €0 ticket . Because when they're gone, they're gone! So be quick now, because demand is high, as it is every year. And you certainly don't want to end up empty-handed, do you?
