Stadtgarten

Stadtgarten is a go-to spot in Neustadt park for live music lovers, with two main stages: the concert hall and Studio 672. They host around 400 events a year, from jazz and pop to electronic and spoken word. The onsite restaurant serves regional and veggie-friendly dishes, and the spacious beer garden is perfect for a relaxed drink during warmer months. In winter, they even run a cozy Christmas market with mulled wine and snacks.

Step into the green heart of the Südstadt park, and you’ll find Hellers Volksgarten—a relaxed beer garden with a view of the lake you can paddle across. It’s one of the few places in Cologne pouring organic Kölsch and cloudy 'Wiess' straight from the Heller brewery. Food ranges from hearty German fare like schnitzel, sausages and spare ribs to seasonal salads and cakes.
