Coliving Spaces in Cologne

Cologne has been a world city for 2000 years. It is a coworking hub and the perfect place to be coliving as a digital nomad for a few weeks to many months.
Arriving from the airport or another city you leave the train station and there it is, towering over you in its Gothic glory: the cathedral Kölner Dom! Street performers and tourists mingle with the daily commuters who hurry towards their trains. Right here starts Hohe Straße, one of the main shopping streets. It is quite astonishing to see the medieval buildings and glass skyscrapers side by side. Instead of being in the middle of it all, you can go to one of the many viewpoints in the city to see these contrasts from a bird’s eye view. Every district has its own character: industrial, artsy, historic… and then there’s Ehrenfeld - the place for street art and wild parties. Huge congress centers complete the mix that holds conventions for videogames, sweets, technology, and many more – whatever rocks your boat, you’ll likely find it in Cologne.
