Insider-tip: if you want to eat fries and sausage (the German "Currywurst"), do it here. It's a very small snack bar, but authentic.

Insider-tip: if you want to eat kebap (they also got vegetable kebap), they are the best in Cologne. Most likely, you got to wait a few minutes. (fun fact: Cologne and German football star Lukas Podolski co-owns another Mangal in the south of the city; that also increased popularity for Mangal)

This is another restaurant, with a large beer garden. If you want to chill in a quiet beer garden nearby, that's your place.

Getting Around
This is for S- and U-Bahn. To get to the main train station, go UPSTAIRS to the S-Bahn and take ANY train from TRACK 2. It's only one station :-)
If you want to take the U-Bahn, you have to go downstairs.

Insider-tip: That's a new kind of massage studio. They have imported massage seats from Japan (not the kind you may know from airports, way more sophisticated than that). If you have time and want to check some fun relexation, check it out.
