gamescom

From 19 to 24 August 2025, Cologne will once again become the global epicenter of gaming culture when gamescom opens its doors. The spectacular "gamescom: Opening Night Live" will kick off the renowned event, which will showcase the latest innovations and trends in the video games industry over five days. The trade fair not only offers a platform for exhibitors and partners to showcase their developments, but also represents a cultural and technological exchange driven by diversity and inclusion.

The exchange between like-minded people continues parallel to gamescom at the associated gamescom camp. For those looking for inexpensive accommodation close to the trade fair and interested in meeting other gamers, Europe's largest gaming campsite in Cologne's Jugendpark offers great opportunities. Whether in your own tent, a multi-person tent or in a camp house, there are several options to choose from. The best thing about it: gaming, sports and evening programs provide entertainment and fun, and food and drink are provided. And if you want to explore the city, it is easily accessible on foot or by public transport!
