The airport sits about 15–20 km southeast of the city centre; regional trains and S-Bahn services link CGN with central Cologne in roughly 15–20 minutes for a modest ticket price, while taxis or ride-hailing typically take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. Pros: compact layout and frequent public transport connections; cons: can be busy during peak holiday periods and has fewer long-haul options than major European hubs.
