Theme Specific Tours

Discovering the European Astronaut Centre (EAC) is an experience where the stars are within reach. Exclusive to Cologne Tourist Board, you and your guests can explore the European Astronaut Centre located on the premises of the German Aerospace Center in Cologne-Wahnheide. The EAC is where the European Astronaut Corps trains for space missions, primarily on the International Space Station (ISS). The tour, available in German or English, includes a presentation in the cinema and a visit to the training hall, the core of the European Astronaut Centre. Visitors will have the opportunity to ask questions about the work at the EAC, astronaut training, and space travel in general. Photography is explicitly allowed. Tours are exclusively for individual groups of up to 25 people. A tour lasts 2 hours and costs a total of 800 EUR gross. These tours can be arranged upon request from Monday to Friday only from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm and all day on weekends. Unfortunately, public tours for individual join-ins cannot be offered for organizational reasons.
