Active & outdoors in Cologne
Cologne offers a wide range of activities for those who like to keep moving. The Flora botanical garden provides a calm green escape, sitting close to Cologne Zoo. Lentpark combines ice skating and climbing under one roof, while Claudius Therme on the Rhine bank offers outdoor thermal pools. The Belgian Quarter and Ehrenfeld reward leisurely walks and cycling tours through lively neighbourhoods. Colorado Adventure and Mystery Castle cater to those after a thrill, and a Geister Rikscha tour explores the city from an unusual angle. Rounding things out are the Lanxess Arena for large-scale events and the open-air LVR-Freilichtmuseum Kommern nearby.
