»United by Football. United in the heart of Europe« - Accessibility of the Kölner Philharmonie during Euro 2024
During the European Football Championship (June 14 to July 14, 2024), we will be welcoming a large number of visitors to Cologne from near and far. The fan zone on Heumarkt will open daily at 2 p.m., on the five match days in Cologne at 11 a.m. Access to the Old Town is generally unrestricted and will only be closed when the area is full. However, access to the Kölner Philharmonie will still be guaranteed for concert guests.
We recommend that you arrive early by public transport. If you are coming by car, please find out in advance about free capacity in the surrounding parking garages and about current road closures.
Special note for the concert on July 5
On July 5, the city of Cologne will set up another fan mile on the Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer. Please note that the Rheinufer between Bastei and Hohenzollernbrücke will be closed or only partially accessible on this day due to the public viewing. It will not be possible to travel via Rheinufer.
To ensure that the Kölner Philharmonie remains accessible by car, Trankgasse will be open to traffic on July 5. The Kölner Philharmonie can be reached from Tunisstraße (Nord-Süd-Fahrt) or Gereonstraße via Unter Sachsenhausen, Marzellenstraße and Trankgasse.
Current changes, even at short notice, can be found in the traffic calendar of the City of Cologne.
