The Cathedral City on the Rhine
Cologne is Germany's fourth-largest city, founded by the Romans on the Rhine almost 2,000 years ago. Its Gothic cathedral, begun in 1248 and finished in 1880, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and stands right next to the main railway station. Inside, the golden Shrine of the Three Kings is one of its greatest treasures.
Cologne is also known for its carnival, its Christmas markets and Kölsch, the local beer served in small glasses. Walk across the Hohenzollern Bridge, hung with thousands of love locks, for the classic view of the cathedral. It is a long drive from Prague, but by private transfer you travel door to door with all your luggage and no changes.

Stopover Tip
Nuremberg, with its medieval old town and Imperial Castle, is close to the route, a little before halfway. A stop there breaks up the long drive, and your driver waits while you look around.
Fares, waiting and larger groups
We Offer Three Fares
Waiting Charge
If the driver waits for you or you book a multi-stop transfer, for example while you visit one city before continuing to another, a waiting charge is added to your fare.
Minivan Special Offer
Many airport taxis take only three passengers and may not fit large bags in a sedan. We take groups of up to four passengers with their luggage in a larger vehicle at a special price: choose “Minivan” (4 seats) when you book online. The offer does not apply to groups of five or more, who travel by minibus at the standard price.
