Sustainable Travel & Tips Cologne

Cologne is a vibrant city with plenty of sights to explore and activities to enjoy. But traveling in a sustainable way is important, too. Here are some tips to help you travel more sustainably while in Cologne.

Take public transportation

Cologne has an extensive public transportation system, making it easy to get around the city without a car. Not only is it more sustainable, but it’s also a great way to see different parts of the city. Plus, you can use the KVB-Card, which is a contactless smart card that can be used on all buses, trams, and metro in the city.

Explore by bike

Cologne is a very bike-friendly city, and many locals use their bikes as their main mode of transportation. Rent a bike and experience the city like a local, while also reducing your carbon footprint. Plus, Cologne has a great bike infrastructure, with designated bike lanes and plenty of bike racks throughout the city. Always remember to wear a helmet for safety.

Eat locally sourced, vegan food

Cologne is home to many great restaurants that use locally sourced ingredients. Eating locally grown food not only supports the local economy, but it also reduces the carbon footprint of your meal by eliminating the need for transportation of ingredients from faraway places. Plus, it’s a great way to try new and delicious food. If you choose for a vegan meal, you can also save a lot of emissions. The production of a hamburger emits almost 5 times more emissions than the same weight in tofu (Milieu Centraal).
