Book Flights to Cologne

A cultural hotspot nestled in the heart of western Germany, Cologne is known for its magical Christmas markets, its 86 diverse neighbourhoods and its easygoing attitude.

Fly direct from London Heathrow to Cologne with British Airways and you can enjoy the sights before you’ve even touched down. As you approach the city along the Rhine, you’ll see glimpses of its gothic architecture as well as the striking Hohenzollern Bridge, one of Cologne’s most iconic landmarks. Once you’ve landed, discover the city’s 2000 years of history and cool cultural credentials on a trip that ticks all the boxes. Begin your visit by stopping by the main attraction, the twin-spired Cologne Cathedral. Known locally as Kolner Dom, it’s the largest Gothic church in northern Europe and took over 600 years to build. If you’ve got a head for heights, climb its steep staircases for a memorable view over Cologne. Take it easy afterwards with a leisurely stroll along the Rhine to check out the thriving riverside food scene, before a stein or two in the Altstadt.
