The merits of a central station

Köln, or Cologne has a perfectly located main station.

Descending from your carriage you find an overwhelming amount of culture at only 2 to 5 minutes: the Dom, Ludwigmuseum etc

Which other cities offer such highly economic travelling? From Montparnasse, Waterloo, Liverpool St and so on, I can tell from hundreds of travels, reaching a prime destination still makes you walk further or take the tube.

In Köln you could have already said your prayer , or you already would have seen a Don Van Vliet painting before any tube would arrive.>
