Views at Munich, Dusseldorf & Cologne Bonn

[jph727]

I am planning an overnight stay and was wondering if anyone knows any good places to view the aircraft from at any of the above airports?

How good are the views from these spots?
How easy is it to get to these places by walking?
Are there any hotels with good views across the airport?

Any other information would be useful and all info would be gratefully received.

At Düsseldorf there is a big open air viewing area on top of the terminal. And there is also a perfect open air viewing area on the trainstation (by bus from the terminal about 5 minutes)

Duesseldorf offers two excellent open-air viewing terraces. They both got the sun in the back till around 14:00 I think. After that the airport gets very quiet anyway, so not much you'll miss. I do not think it is possible to get to the other side of the airport or the approach, unless you got a car. There is a very nice aviation store at the terminal next to the terrace.

Cologne also has a nice open-air viewing terrace, but it does have glass in front of you. It has the sun in the back. Another option is to walk into the final approach, but it is a long walk from the terminal. Something like 40 minutes or so.

Can't tell you about hotels.

I got some recent photos from both DUS and CGN. Have not gotten round to uploading them yet,so you will have to check my website.
