Finding what's on in Cologne when you don't read German

The events worth going to in Cologne are mostly not on the pages that rank for "things to do in Cologne". They're on German-language listings sites, promoter pages and mailing lists that were never written for visitors — which is why a week here can end up looking like everyone else's week here.

Palaner reads those sources directly, deduplicates the same night listed in four places, and shows you the result in English. Right now that's 1,266 events happening in Cologne.

Every pick comes with the reason it was picked — the taste it matched, the real price, and how far it is. You can tell it when it's wrong, and the next list is different.

Questions about events in Cologne

What is there to do in Cologne this week?
Palaner is showing 1,266 events on in Cologne right now, pulled from every listings site, ticket seller and promoter newsletter we can reach for Germany. The list is ranked, not alphabetical: tell Palaner what you like and the order changes.
Is this a list of the usual tourist attractions?
No. Palaner only shows things that are actually happening on a date — gigs, club nights, markets, talks, socials, screenings, food events. Permanent attractions don't appear, because they aren't events.
Does it work if I don't speak German?
Yes, and that is most of the point. A lot of what is on in Cologne is only ever posted in German — on local listings sites, promoter pages and mailing lists that don't have an English version. Palaner reads those sources and shows you the results in English.
I'm only in Cologne for a few days. Is that useful?
That's the case it's built for. Say how long you're around and what you're into, and Palaner narrows 1,266 events down to the handful worth your evenings — with the reason it picked each one, so you can disagree with it.
Does Palaner cost anything?
No. It's free in any browser, and it isn't a ticket seller — it links out to wherever the event is actually sold.
