Hi tr -
Some question that will help us answer your question. Do you speak German? Will you have a job? Are you looking for a place to stay? If so, what (own apartment, WG, short-term housing, etc)? What is the range you're willing to pay for housing?

Hi - how exciting...I love about 40 minutes away but love getting to Cölogne, for it's size it really offers a lot of diverse things to see and do (museums, historic sites, nightclubs, cinemas, markets, street art and artists...), hope you have a great time discovering your new home. My best tip for you would be to join the meetup.com group for expats called Kölner Klüngel - there are other groups as well but I think this is the largest one...it will give you an opportunity to join some of their activities and get to know others in the same situation.  My favorite neighborhoods in Köln are the old city of course, the Belgian Quartier and the multi-cultural neighborhood of Ehrenfeld ... There is a small cinema called Metropolis that plays films in their original version (OV) .... A lot of expats go there, though it is sort of an adventure with them getting films to download - but reminds me of smaller arthouse cinemas back in the states.  Get a bike and bike along the rhine in the summer...you'll love it!

Hi Suburbia

Great tips, coming to Cologne mid March. I enjoy biking, hopefully I can bike
to work, as I do that in New Zealand.

Thanx very much, see you soon

Cheers
