If you like classic music it's worth to go here for a concert. But also the architecture is interesting as this concert hall was made like an Amphitheatre, to get a close to perfect room acoustic. You can also take a 30 mins break (normally) every thursday at 12 pm to join the "Philarmonie Lunch" and listen to classic music for FREE (https://www.koelner-philharmonie.de/de/reihen/philharmonielunch/14).

Getting Around

From here you can take the bus to our place. Bus 132 direction "Meschenich" will bring you in ~25 mins to the busstop "Leyboldstr." which is ~200m from our place. During the daytime the bus leaves almost every 10 mins. For a single trip you'll need the ticket "1b City Köln". If you plan to take more than 3 rides per day it's cheaper to buy a day ticket than you can take as much rides as you want.
