Cologne/Bonn International Airport (CGN) Information

Introduction

Located 15kms southeast of Cologne (Köln), this airport also serves the former West German capital city Bonn, about 25kms to the south. More than 6 million travellers per year pass through the airport, making it one of the country’s busiest. There are two terminal buildings, the newer of which was completed in 2000. Forty airlines operate out of the airport (including several “no-frills” carriers), serving destinations in Germany as well as other parts of Europe and the world. A free shuttle bus runs between the arrivals levels of both terminals.

There is also bus service to Düsseldorf (a 1-hour journey) leaving from Terminal 2. Taxis are readily available outside both terminals. The fare for the 15-minute trip to Cologne city centre is €25; to Bonn, €35-€40.
