Welcome to our Mini-train, fondly called „Bimmelbahn“.

Take a seat at one of our Mini-trains and enjoy a sightseeing round-trip in the City of Cologne. We bring you to the most famous landsmark, buildings and places of Cologne. Two „HOP-ON – HOP-OFF“ tours are offered during the year. We have stops at the Cologne Cathedral „Kölner Dom“, the Chocolate Museum and the Zoo of Cologne. Tickets are available at each stop.

The first tour, our CHOCOLATE-EXPRESS runs throught the historical „Old Town South“ district and arrives and departs at the Chocolate Museum, located right at the Rheinauhafen Waterfront district before it runs back to the Cologne Cathedral, passing the Upper Old Town on its way back. For more information click on Chocolate-Express.

The second tour, our ZOO-EXPRESS runs along the Rhine River shore, passing the Cologne cable car and arrives and departs at the Mini train stop right at the entrance area of the Zoo of Cologne. The Cologne cable car as well as the Cologne Flora „Kölner Flora“ with its Botanical Garden are both in walking distance from our Mini-train stop. The trip back to the Cologne Cathedral runs through the New Town North as well as the Old Town North district. For more information click onZoo-Express.

During the Christmas season, traditionally starting end of November until Christmas eve, our CHRISTMAS-MARKET-EXPRESS joins our service and provides a round-trip from Christmas Market to Christmas-Market with the possibility to HOP OFF – HOP-ON at each entrance of the Christmas markets along the round-trip.
