Picture Perfect on Instagram – the best Instagram spots in Cologne
1. Hohenzollernbrücke at the Cathedral of Cologne
The 2nd tourist spot in Cologne. This bridge is an iconic building in Cologne and offers many possibilities in terms of photography. Both on and next to the bridge you can take nice pictures. Tip: at sunset, the sun sets behind Cologne Cathedral!
Address: Hohenzollernbrücke, 50670 Köln, Germany
2. Belvedere Brücke in the west of Cologne
This bridge is quite new and not known among tourists. Largely the distant location from the center is responsible for this. The orange color stands out very well!
Address: A4, 51105 Köln, Germany
3. The underground metro station “Altermarkt”
In Cologne, they know something about impressive metro stations in Cologne. These all have something futuristic and form a nice subject for a unique and special photo. Please note that in Cologne they are extremely strict in terms of privacy and photography.
Address: Metrostation “Altermarkt”

4. Tunnel near Marzellenstrasse/Eingelstein – Trankgasse
Night photography enthusiasts have discovered a nice new place! The blue exposure of this tunnel gives great results for street photography, but also for a portrait this can give great results!
Address: Beleuchteter Tunnel unter den Gleisen des Hauptbahnhofs in Richtung Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer
5. Colorful houses of Fischmarkt in the old town center
This place is very touristy but certainly worth a visit. A nice snapshot where Cologne will be recognized immediately! Another nice tip: if it has rained, be sure to use the reflections in the puddles.
Address: Am Leystapel, 50667 Köln, Germany

The most colourful place in Cologne
6. The round spiral staircase
City lovers and abstract photography lovers will certainly appreciate this place. The staircase is located in a medical centre and is open to the public. Be prepared that passers-by will be surprised 😉
Address: Lungenpraxis am Ebertplatz 2, 50670 Köln, Germany

Endless staircases – the Instagram staircase
7. The elevator of 25hours Hotel The Circle
Besides the fact that this hotel is our favorite hotel in Cologne, our favorite place was the elevator! This one is really great in design and gives both visually and on photo an impressive result.
Address: Im Klapperhof 22-24, 50670 Köln, Germany
8. Architectural novelties
There are many architectural buildings in Cologne. We visited this place which is also very new! Perfect for testing different angles and you can also choose between the ‘red’ and ‘green’ building.
Address: Gustav-Heinemann-Ufer 74, (Bilderbuch Köln) Bayenthal 50670 Köln, Germany
