Brühl

Brühl is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, almost a suburb of Cologne.

Understand
Brühl is mostly known for its two palaces, built for Duke Clemens August in the 18th century.

Multiple times a year, the pedestrian center becomes host to markets where you can shop for various handycraft items.

By train
Line RB 11315, operated by Deutsche Bahn from Wuppertal to Bonn, stops at Brühl station. You can also board the train at Cologne (Köln Hauptbahnhof). There is also Brühl-Kierberg, where some trains stops. It could happen you land there on diversion. Take a bus to the city center from there.

By U-Bahn
Take U-Bahn line 18 from Bonn Hauptbahnhof or Köln Hauptbahnhof/Dom stations. However, make sure that the train is going as far as Brühl, as not all journeys on the line do. This is much slower than travelling by train.

Get around
The center of Brühl is entirely walkable. To reach other parts of town, take one of many buses or use the line 18 tram. The central station for buses and trams is Brühl Mitte.

If you do not have a car and want to visit Phantasialand, take the "Phantasialand Shuttle" bus. It stops at both Brühl Bahnhof and Brühl Mitte, and is much cheaper than parking at Phantasialand.

Eat
The Wirtshaus restaurant, directly at the train station, offers good German cuisine with a lot of different meat dishes and a few vegetarian options. It features a traditional interior, big portions and above-average prices.

Brühl has quite a few Döner-Shops to satisfy all cravings for Kebab and other Turkish food items like Baklava.

The city center hosts two hamburger restaurants: Schlossburger, a single establishment, as well as Golden Burger 1, which is part of a local chain. It is up to debate which one is superior but if you're into unique burgers, you should definitely try both and decide for yourself.

For Dutch fast food, go to PommStop. It is probably the most well-known and sympathetic fast food store in the entire city. It offers all kinds of Dutch deep fried snacks and the staff is known for their friendliness.
