FROM KÖLN HAUPTBAHNHOF TO THE HOTEL FLANDRISCHER HOF

At the train station ("Köln Hauptbahnhof") go downstairs to the subway ("U-Bahn") located under the main entrance hall, at the side of the cathedral. At the subway station you can buy a short trip "Kurzstrecke" ticket (EUR 1.90) at the ticket window or from the vending machines (accepting only coins). Take a subway # 16 or 18 (direction to "Neumarkt") and get off at "Neumarkt" (2 stops). Then walk up the stairs to the tram station (take # 1, direction to "Weiden" or # 7, direction to "Frechen"). Get off at the next stop called "Rudolfplatz". Flandrischer Hof is within 1 minute walking distance: cross Rudolfplatz to the opposite corner, continue straight and take the next street to the right (Flandrische Str.).

There are plenty of nice cafes and restaurants in that area. The easiest possibility, as you exit the Hotel, go 100 meters to the left to Aachener Str., then make a right - and choose from one of several places on this short strip of the street (or on the other side). One of our favourite places here is Balthasar.
The next intersection is Brüsseler Strasse. There you also have several nice places: Krua Thai on Brüsseler Str. 40-42, Candia (modern Greek) on Brüsseler Str. 70, Belgischer Hof (European) on Brüsseler Str. 54
