Sightseeing in and around Cologne is also more convenient by hire car. Apart from the famous Cathedral and its treasures, there's the beautiful Schloss Augustusburg in neighbouring Brühl, a UNESCO World Heritage site well worth a visit and Schloss Falkenlust, built in the 18th century, is also a good destination for a day out with the family.

The cities of Cologne and Bonn have some 2,000 years of heritage to showcase and visitors using car rental Cologne Airport can explore both sides of the Rivers Rhine and Mosel, where many castles and strongholds were built during the Rhineland region's turbulent past, when prince-electors and the various archbishops of Cologne built fortifications to protect their riches and seats of power.

Business travelers coming to one of the many international trade shows being held in Cologne will find limousines and luxury vehicles are being offered by all of the above car hire companies, while families or travelers on a budget will have to no problem choosing a car from the many affordable economy and compact ranges on offer.

During January every year the cities along the River Rhine are turned upside down by the annual Carnival that takes place in cities like Cologne and Mainz. Hundreds of thousands of people in fancy dress join the parades and festivities in the cities. Giant floats depicting famous people like politicians or celebrities are travelling through the city alongside street musicians and mime artists, dancers and jugglers. Hiring a car to discover the differences in the festivities being held during that time allows visitors to Germany a real insight into the German way of life and, far from being humourless, the people of Hessen and Franconia show great skill at making fun of their "betters".
