Life's a beach
With music taking place on several stages, and drinks being served on Mead Island, you might wonder where you can take a moment to chill out and unwind. Well, Amphi Festival has its own beach! It has views across the Rhine to the Cathedral, comfy deckchairs and plenty of shade, making it the perfect place to relax after a heavy mosh pit.
Attending Amphi Festival
The Tanzbrunnen is located just a 5-minute walk away from Cologne Messe / Deutz station, so it's very easy to reach via public transport. There is also parking available at the site for those who want to drive in, and the festival website has links to car-sharing websites if you want to keep both your costs and ecological footprint down.
Your festival wristband allows you to leave and return when you like, so being located directly in Cologne city centre means you can take a quiet moment to get out and explore.
You can find out more about the whole lineup and more information about attending on the Amphi Festival website.
