I'm after a bit of advice for a trip I'm planning on doing in July.

The plan is to fly into Cologne/Bonn and take a taxi to Phantasialand and stay in their hotel for 1 or 2 nights. I then plan to travel to Düsseldorf for the fair.

Where I need help/advice is the following

- Travel from Phantasialand to Düsseldorf (public transport)
- Hotel in Düsseldorf
- Travel back to the airport (Cologne/Bonn) or a closer more accessable aiport for the return trip home

A big thank you to any help that anyone can offer S

Cheers

Phil

reiseauskunft.bahn.de en this is the page of german railway.

Just check Brühl -> Düsseldorf and you will find the trains changes and stuff.
I don´t know about the bus times from Phantasialand to Brühl station.

Here you can find a lot of Hotels, perhaps there is a nice one in Düsseldorf.

Phil,

a taxi from Cologne airport to the park would cost you a fortune - 40 Euros at least. Take public transport:

- S-Bahn (suburban railway) to Cologne main station
- tram line 18 to Brühl-Mitte
- shuttle bus to the park

Regards,

Tim
Excess all areas!

Phil,

Taxi is cheap if there are 4 of you sharing. I've done it that way a couple of times now. It works out at about £6-8 UKP each, which isn't that bad and saves a bit of messing about.

Having said that, the rail link is now open so that will help S

Cologne/Bonn airport is great too S

You shouldn't have any transport problems getting to Düsseldorf from PL.

As for hotels, I asked a similar question on the ECC list the other week. I opted for an Ibis by the main rail station. Easy tram links to the Kirmes, or walk since it isn't too far away.

Train from Phantasialand to Dusseldorf is so easy. That Bahn website above is superb, and there's a free shuttle bus from the park to the station which is probably about 20 minutes long journey-wise (not sure how frequent).

I have the dates as the 15th - 23rd July. This is info from duesseldorf-tourismus.de

Last time I went the BIG firework display was on the Friday night. I say BIG because I'd certainly never seen anything like it! The show was fantastic but even more so was the number of the people watching it!
