Could anyone from Germany tell me the cheapest way to get form Dusslerdorf to Cologne? From what I could find going by train is somewhat cheap, but German isn't my most fluent language (like... I barely understand it :P ) so I'm not getting a lot of information. And acording to Google maps it says that it takes about 9 hours by foot, which isn't something I'm looking forward to do :P ...
And it's a shame the hotel where the qualifier is is kind of expensive...
loool 9 hours..never thought about that but yeah you need 3o minutes from düsseldorf to cologne by train.
anyway there are pretty good connections from Düsseldorf to cologne. You can either travel with two RegionalExpress (in direction to Aachen and Koblenz) which i would say is the best way to do cause they are fast (though still sometimes very crowded) or travel with a S-Bahn (S6 to Cologne-Nippes) which is slow....
you can take these Trains (and Busses/Metros in Cologne which i would assume you need there) with a Day-Ticket (Schöner Tag NRW-Ticket) which cost around 25 €. If you want it faster you could also travel With an IC or ICE but that would cost around 40 € (without Bus and so on)
