    Car Hire Cologne

    Cologne Car HireWhile on holiday in Cologne, be sure to visit some of its historic buildings and cathedrals. The Cologne Cathedral, which was built in 1248 A.D. is a stunningly beautiful church. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Cathedral's picturesque architecture serves as an impressive backdrop to the old quartres of Cologne. To get out of the city, venture to the historic town of Zülpich, which dates back to the Roman Empire. Brühl may also be of interest, as it is the location of the Augustusburg Palace, one of the key works of Balthasar Neuman.

    It is important to note that Cologne requires cars to be low emission. All vehicles in this zone must display a green emission badge, and there's no exception for foreign plates. A sticker can be ordered online but must be done well in advance. Find more information on Low Emission Zones and what you need to do to comply.

    All autobahns in Germany are toll-free, though some private roads in the Bavarian Alps may have tolls.
