Though many travellers book the ibis Koeln Messe for visiting the trade fairs or an event at Laxness Arena, guests also find that the hotel is close enough to the city centre for a day's sightseeing. Many enjoy the walk over the bridge into the old town to see the Cathedral and the shops, and for most it takes about 20 minutes. You can also get there in half the time on the tram.
