When it comes to the perfect holiday for any budding racer or car lover, the best option is, in the world of Rihanna, "shut up and drive"!
We're offering you a two-night 4* Cologne stay with a two-lap driving experience at the iconic Nürburgring for just £159pp!
If you love driving and motor sport, then you will probably already be well aware of the significance of the Nürburgring. The iconic racing track is considered one of the best and most intense in the world. The German Grand Prix is staged on the new track (built in the 1980s), but with today's deal, you will have the opportunity to drive at great speed around the old, famous Nordschleife track. Known for its steep dips and hair-raising corners, the old track is simply a must-drive for any serious motor sports enthusiast. You'll get two laps around this long track (the full circuit is well over 20km) in either your own car if you've brought it with you, or a hire car that you can rent on the day.
During your German driving escape, you'll be staying in the historic city of Cologne, which offers visitors a myriad attractions, led most famously by its iconic cathedral that reaches high into the skyline. Packed with fascinating museums and galleries, it's also got plenty in store for fans of chocolate, sports and even Roman history. You'll be able to relax in style at the Leonardo Hotel, Park Inn Koln City West or TRYP by Wyndham Koeln City Centre, unwinding in a comfortable en-suite double or twin room with a TV and Wi-Fi.
During your stay, why not enjoy the culinary delights that Cologne has to offer, including the famous potato pancakes and delicious and refreshing Kölsch beer, served every Friday at Päffgen? In terms of culture, Cologne has a vast array of opportunities to explore the local history. In the Cultural Quarter, you can visit the medieval art and sculpture in the Museum Schnütgen, and no trip to Cologne would be complete without seeing the Klöner Dom (Cathedral), with its impressive twin spires standing at 157m in height and a staggering 12,400sq metre floorplan. Our advice for this amazing driving holiday - come for the once-in-a-lifetime car racing experience, stay for the authentic German culture of Cologne!
