Cologne hotel & Porsche Museum advice
Posted: Wed Apr 03, 2013 1:38 pm
Hi All,
A mate and I are making the trip down to Stuttgart in old 911s at the end of this month. For those that have made a similar trip before, I have a couple of questions –
We’re looking to stay overnight in Cologne en route. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good, cheap-ish hotel with secure parking near to the old city centre? We’ll be arriving at 10-ish in the evening & leaving the next morning, so just need somewhere clean, with a safe place to leave the cars while we get re-fuelled, a couple of beers and some kip.
We’re planning a trip to the Porsche Museum. This is probably an un-answerable question, but what’s a reasonable time to allow for a trip round? There will be no women-folk or kids, so the usual external limits won’t apply!
Lastly, is there any chance of a couple of pre-73 drivers blagging a look round Werk 1? This is the longest shot of all, but I just wondered if anyone had had any success in that regard?
I’ve spotted that you have a POB mission over there later in the year which would have been uber-cool to join, but due to external influences we have to go when we do. I’m sure it will be a hoot!
Thanks for any help you can give us.
Cheers, Jon.
