Köln HBF (Cologne Central-Station) → Köln-Messe/Deutz

Depending on where you come from you can just stay seated, for many trains arriving at the central station in Cologne Köln-Deutz is the next stop. be sure to check your train schedule though. If you really have to get out at Köln HBF to take a look at the cathedral, try this to get to Köln-Deutz: Take the S6 or S12. After two or three minutes you will arrive at Köln-Messe/Deutz. Exit there. The tickets for this trip are called "Cityticket 1b". They cost 2,60 Euro, you should have coins handy.

Köln-Messe/Deutz → Partyplace

Once you arrived at Köln-Messe/Deutz go down to the subway and watch for signs that advertise lines 1 or 9. Take one of these Trains (direction Bensberg or Königsforst)) and exit at Kalk-Kapelle. Exit the station on the right in direction of travel, take a sharp right turn and go straight ahead into the Wiersbergstraße. After a minute of walking you should see an industrial area, where the Abenteuerhallen ("AH" over the entrance) is located.

Another option is to take the busline 150 (direction "Heinrich-Bützler-Straße") and exit at the stop "Christian-Sünner-Straße" right in front of the Abenteuerhallen. The bus leaves every 30 minutes and you only have to get a short trip ticket (Kurzstrecke), which costs 1,90€.
