Hi there
i a going to be in cologne form 27 jan to 5 feb, and also in Bonn form 2-5 Feb.
Ws thinking of visitng the areas around Cologne, and maybe even nearby Holland or Belgium
I am deciding between -
A Germany / Benelux Railpass
A Germany railpass
Using the traisn as and when I neec - so I pay for the day itself, I am going with my wife, maybe get a small group discount. We can limit our trips to the Rhine valey and areas around Coloigne
Renting a car - how much would it cost, and is this advisable?
Thanks very much. I am from Singapore

If you like to make a day trip to Amsterdam or Brussels see if you can get some Europe-Special tickets (from EUR 19,00).

A rail pass won%26#39;t pay for just 2 day trips or so.
A car makes no sense at all as long you travel inside the bigger conurbations of NRW. Cologne is notorious for the traffic jams on the autobahns around it. Also certainly not for trips to Brussels or Amsterdam. The situation is there not much different. And as these routes are served by highspeed trains you%26#39;ll be anyway considerably slower by car.
The Rhine valley is well served by trains. There are railroads on both sides of the river.
Something else if you like to explore the Sauerland or the Siebengebirge (the Seven Mountains where Snow White lived behind ...). But this year there is now snow there yet on these uplands (an unusual warm winter so far). And even if this may change, it%26#39;s another question if it%26#39;s a good idea to drive there without any experience on driving on snowy or icy roads.
