Worth knowing: the Atento card is swapped online for a merchant voucher before the visit. It takes two minutes, then you simply show the merchant voucher at the till.

From a kind thought to a lovely experience

Three steps to the right gift

  1. Buy the gift card

    Pick an amount, then personalize it with a message, a photo and a design. Free of charge.

  2. The recipient picks a favorite

    They browse the places in Köln and swap the card online for the place they pick. It takes two minutes, and the balance can be split across several places.

  3. Pay and enjoy

    Most places issue a digital Visa card, valid for that one shop. Add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay and pay at the till like with any other card. Where that is not live yet, you show a voucher instead.

Köln, the way you love it.

Close to home. Right in a favourite neighbourhood.

Every gift card is a vote for the high street.

When a card is redeemed in Cologne, the money does not land in a warehouse off the A4. It lands at the Brauhaus on the corner, the bookshop in the Südstadt, the cafe in Ehrenfeld, the yoga studio in Nippes.

The whole neighborhood

Food first. Then everything else.

Food and drink carries the card today: 2,940 Brauhäuser, cafes, bars and bakeries in Cologne. Beauty, wellness, shopping and experiences are on it too, and growing neighborhood by neighborhood.

Cologne by Veedel

Nine boroughs, one gift card.

In Cologne a neighborhood is a Veedel, and each one has its own street with its own shops. The card works in all of them.

The per-district numbers count places whose address carries a postal code from that district. Not every catalog entry has a postal code on file, which is why the districts add up to less than the figure for the whole city.

Occasions

Right for any occasion in Köln.

Birthday gift

Same-day PDF with a personal message. The recipient chooses between dinner, a massage or the record shop.

Christmas gift

No parcel, no shipping deadline, no carton from a warehouse. Digital on the 24th or printed by post.

Wedding gift

Larger amounts split across several places: a dinner, a spa appointment, an experience.

Mother's Day

A massage, breakfast or flowers from the florist in the Veedel, instead of an order that spends two days in transit.

Saying thank you

For the neighbor who takes in your parcels. In Cologne 25 € covers lunch and a catch-up.

New in Cologne

The most useful housewarming gift in the city: the budget to explore a new Veedel, across all five categories.

All the details

Köln gift card: support local, give something personal

Cologne runs on the shops that exist exactly once. The Brauhaus with its own kitchen, the pub with eight tables, the bookshop in the Südstadt, the sauna behind a courtyard gate. The Cologne gift card from Atento is the key to those places: one card, 3,361 options, every one of them owner-run.

Discover the best of your neighborhood

The card covers five categories, not just food:

  • Brauhäuser, restaurants, cafes and bakeries in every Veedel
  • Barbers, hairdressers and beauty studios in the Veedel
  • Massage, sauna and yoga for the grey months by the Rhine
  • Bookshops, concept stores, record shops and florists
  • Classes, workshops, cinemas and small stages

Why this matters in Köln

Cologne has more pubs per head than any other large German city, and most of them belong to a family rather than a chain. Those are exactly the businesses that come under pressure first.

A gift card that only works at independent businesses reverses that flow. The money stays on the street where it is spent, and goes to people who actually work there.

Then there is the plain practicality: Cologne is split across the Rhine. Nobody living in Kalk travels to Lindenthal to use a gift card. With 3,361 places across the city, everyone finds something within a walk.

And the choice stays with the recipient. You are not gifting a decision, you are gifting the freedom to pick between dinner, a massage and a record shop.

A gift that gives back

With the Köln gift card you give more than a present. You back local business owners, you keep money in the city, and you help small operators stay open. A gift that feels good to give and better to get.
