Rugby Tours to Germany
Local teams always offer groups a warm welcome
Rugby is a growing sport in Germany and with the increasing popularity of the youth game, now is a great time to visit with your team! You’ll be warmly welcomed by local clubs and can expect great post-match hospitality, as well as exciting sights to see.
Off the pitch, there’s so much to do in and around Cologne. Snap a selfie with the magnificent cathedral, explore sporting history at the Olympic Museum and spend a day racing at the Michael Schumacher Karting Centre.
