Buy the ticket to Düsseldorf, not to Cologne: the airport's EUR 4.00 level-1b ticket ends at the Cologne city boundary, and the through fare is level 3.

A level-3 ticket bought for Düsseldorf is valid on that route only, by the tariff's cross-border rules — not for a day around the whole network.

Five or more of you: the 24hTicket 5 Personen at EUR 55.60 is the price of four singles and saves EUR 13.90 on five.

The ICE from the airport's long-distance platforms also reaches Düsseldorf through Cologne, on a Deutsche Bahn fare that changes by the day; this ticket does not board it.

Düsseldorf has its own airport, one stop and 15 minutes beyond the Hauptbahnhof on this train.
