In the inner city of Cologne, at Neptunplatz is the tranquil oasis of Neptunbad Spa. Car parking can be a problem in the area, however, there is a parking station not far away, it can be busy at times and maybe the city’s tram network should be considered as it is a 2 minute walk from Ehrenfeld Kornerstr Station.
The saunas are as big as the other facilities in Cologne but still a reasonable variety of saunas both inside and outside. There is an Aufguss program on the half hour usually
rotated between 2 or 3 or saunas commencing about 10am with the last about 10.30pm
