Cologne/Bonn → Aachen: key facts

Getting from Cologne/Bonn Airport (CGN) to Aachen takes about 1h 10min by car on an empty road (70–85 min in heavy traffic) over 85 km via A 4. Our private transfer costs €220 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €270 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2), after baggage reclaim and the customs exit, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Aachen lies about 90 km west of the airport. The drive uses the A4 motorway west via the Cologne ring and Düren, taking around 1 hour. The Cologne ring is busy at rush hours. The route stays within Germany, and Aachen has a low-emission zone in its centre. The cathedral area is a pedestrian core with narrow streets.

The centre of Aachen is arranged around the cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with the Katschhof and the town hall beside it. The Elisenbrunnen, the Markt and the Printen bakeries are all within a few minutes' walk. The Carolus thermal baths are near the Kaiserplatz. Most of the old centre is pedestrian, so the car stops at the ring road or the nearest open street. The main station is on the south-east edge of the centre.

Public transport instead: S-Bahn Köln / DB Regio train S19, then regional or intercity train from Köln/Bonn Flughafen to Köln Hbf, then Köln Hbf to Aachen Hauptbahnhof, S19 every 20 minutes, 1 change. No direct train from the airport station; the usual route is the S19 to Köln Hauptbahnhof and a regional or intercity train to Aachen, with one change.
