Brühl

Understand

Brühl is mostly known for its two palaces, built for Duke Clemens August in the 18th century.

Multiple times a year, the pedestrian center becomes host to markets where you can shop for various handycraft items.

Get around

The center of Brühl is entirely walkable. To reach other parts of town, take one of many buses or use the line 18 tram. The central station for buses and trams is Brühl Mitte.

If you do not have a car and want to visit Phantasialand, take the "Phantasialand Shuttle" bus. It stops at both Brühl Bahnhof and Brühl Mitte, and is much cheaper than parking at Phantasialand.

Eat

The Wirtshaus restaurant, directly at the train station, offers good German cuisine with a lot of different meat dishes and a few vegetarian options. It features a traditional interior, big portions and above-average prices.

Brühl has quite a few Döner-Shops to satisfy all cravings for Kebab and other Turkish food items like Baklava.

The city center hosts two hamburger restaurants: Schlossburger, a single establishment, as well as Golden Burger 1, which is part of a local chain. It is up to debate which one is superior but if you're into unique burgers, you should definitely try both and decide for yourself.

For Dutch fast food, go to PommStop. It is probably the most well-known and sympathetic fast food store in the entire city. It offers all kinds of Dutch deep fried snacks and the staff is known for their friendliness.
