How it is better to get to Koeln and back (if it is train, how and >> where to buy tickets) and in which weekday hello Dmitry looking for a bus for berlin/cologne did not give me any result. There is a bus once daily to Duesseldorf near cologne (http://www.berlinlinienbus.de/) ((no English version yet, its germany2007!!^_°)) 74 eu for a return ticket. A pdf timetable is here: http://www.berlinlinienbus.de/pdfs/dus.pdf payment with credit card, you should book several days (at least five) in advance as seats sometimes become rare. >From Duesseldorf to Köln there are regional trains ("S-Bahn" or "Regionalexpress") for 9.30 eu (Preisstufe 5ü) one way, about one hour. url: http://www.vrsinfo.de/eng/index.php - by tickets at the station. BUT: at least a 10 h trip, i cannot recommend it. http://www.mitfahrgelegenheit.de (pre-arranged lifts in private cars) is used a lot and usually works well. people charge ~25-30 eur for the trip. Unfortunately everything there is german, you get email and/ore phone number for making an arrangement. I offer help in searching/translating/making phone calls to german numbers. do svedanja, david -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!
