Cologne is served mainly by Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN), an international hub that blends full-service carriers and a strong presence of low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on season and carrier. It sits about 15 km southeast of the city center; the S-Bahn (S13/S19) and regional trains reach central Köln Hauptbahnhof in roughly 15–20 minutes, while local buses and taxis take 20–30 minutes—expect public transit fares to be modest and taxi rides to be notably higher. CGN is convenient for international connections and short transfers, though the terminal can be busy during peak periods; travelers trade a compact layout and solid ground links for occasional congestion and limited late-night services.
Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland’s primary international hub, commonly serving long-haul carriers and full-service European airlines alongside some low-cost operators on select routes. Located about 10–15 km north of Zurich city centre, it’s usually reachable in around 10–15 minutes by direct intercity train or 15–25 minutes by car depending on traffic. Trains run frequently with fares typically in the modest range for Swiss regional journeys; regional buses and taxis are also available. The airport is generally efficient and comfortable with extensive passenger facilities, though it can be busy at peak times; its quick rail link makes it a convenient base for business and leisure travellers. Pros: fast public transport, strong connections. Cons: can be pricey for food and parking.
