Answer 3

The best travel advice on the net is at tripadvisor.com! I use it for every trip I take...I've lived in Europe for five years and tripadvisor advice has never been wrong! Good luck!

Answer 4

Visit www.onevacationclub.com - You can book on line. I have used them in the past and are very good. Click on Holiday Shop or Worldwide Travel to find the hotels/stars/info/location etc.

You do not need to be a member to book the hotels, however as a member you will save more money as you will be able to book resorts and those prices are per unit rather than per person.

Have a nice holiday.

Answer 5

Eurolines runs everyday between Cologne and Liege.  I have shown the link in sources.  The cost for a 1-way ticket will be around 20 Euro.  The web site was not functioning properly today, but I'm sure you can e-mail them if it still is out.

As for keeping your budget on Cologne low for staying, it depends on what you mean by low-budget.  If hostels are your thing, you can find enough information just googling "hostel cologne" such as the link shown below.  If you still want a proper hotel, got to a general site like Hotelclub.net or similar sites and search your dates and compare.

Good luck and have a safe trip.

Answer 6

The Thalys train connects both cities, prices vary depending on how far ahead you book and there are some special prices for certain age groups.
