Central station for the city of Köln (Cologne), it is one of the busiest rail stations in Germany…read more It is quite large and I got to explore it a bit today thanks to a delay by the wonderful folks at Deutsche Bahn. My tip to you is that if you do have an extended layover here, use the luggage storage for your suitcases and step outside. You'll find the tremendous Kölner Dom that is worth photographing and touring. I did not have THAT much time so it was pictures only today. The train station has coffee (including Starbucks, yuck), pastries, lots of restaurants, restrooms, a waiting lounge if your train ticket includes that service, car rentals, ATMs and yes, the Ibis hotel.

Because it is so open, a nice breeze could be felt blowing through, helping to keep everyone cool. From our place on the platform, we could look out a bit into/onto the city of Liège, and the views are lovely. On the platform was a giant sculpture of a Rubik's Cube. I didn't get a chance to look into it's significance, but it was a nice explosion of color amongst all the whiteness. As had been our experience for the last week, the trains all arrived on time, and were fairly comfortable. We traveled from here to Frankfurt. 25/2020

From this station you can go to Geleen, Heerlen, Sittard and Belgium. The train station is around 15 minutes walking away from the city center. You have to cross the river Maas for that.

Helaas door de foute info van de stationsbediende onze trein vanuit Aachen gemist. Als deze dame ons goed had geïnformeerd hadden we de bus 350 kunnen nemen waardoor we wel tijdig aankwamen.

The…read morelocation is decently convenient though many of the sites of interest in Aachen are scattered throughout the city. Built in the Art Nouveau style and opened in 1905, the facade of the facility is rather nice in appearance. With seven platforms, it is quite user friendly. The amenities are fairly limited compared to larger stations but there are at least a couple of quick food and retail choices. The route options are impressive for the size of the station as there are trains that can be taken to Pairs, Brussels, Berlin and other prominent cities of interest.

It is a large station with 16 rail platforms plus four tram platforms and four Stadtbahn platforms. As such, it is Germany's sixth busiest station. The parts that I encountered were step free but I'm not sure if the entire station is such. I was able to roll my spinner suitcase easily from the train, through the station and out to the tram. Signage looked good and easy to read. Lots of food and some retail shopping opportunities here. And in 2021, masks are required throughout the train system.

I'm always amazed at this country when there is such a nice station for a small city like Sittard…read more The Intercity NS train stops here every 30 minutes (or more) as well as other regional trains. From here you can go to anywhere in the Netherlands, sometimes as far north as the trains go, without exiting the train. Did you know that this is actually the longest train platform in the Netherlands? With a platform length of 700 meters (2,300 feet). This makes it the longest railway platform in the Netherlands and one of the longest in Europe. The long platform is necessary to accommodate the long-distance trains that stop at the station, as well as the frequent local traffic. This is a smaller station but packed with features. A nice bike parking facility, a huge bus platform out front (since there are no trams in Sittard), an Albert Heijn, kapsalon (barber), a Doner food place and a Kiosk. From this station you can walk anywhere in the Centrum, even to the big Market square in minutes. Nicely lighted, great design too.
