World Cup

Looking to stay in Aachen for a few days during the World Cup and catch a game in Cologne and one in Gelsenkirchen.

Is public transport available to get to both venues and also any decent bars in Aachen to watch the games in?

Thanks for any feedback

A %26quot;SchönerTagTicket Single NRW%26quot; (HappyDayTicket Single NRW) for EUR 21,00 covers all local public transport in NRW

- local trains: RegionalBahn RB and RegionalExpress

- S-Bahn

- trams

- buses

There is also a mini group (2-5 persons) version for EUR 27,00.

On weekdays this ticket is only valid past 9am. Always till 3am of the next day.

I guess they will put up in Aachen a big screen like in other bigger cities and show the games there. Of course there will be also bars showing the games.
