Public transport in Cologne / Bonn

Public transport in Cologne / Bonn - Metro station with passengers on platform

I'm going to be traveling to Cologne in September, partially to visit Photokina and partially for fun. I noticed a quite extensive tram network in the area, stretching from Cologne to Bonn. Is there a ticket available for tourists to allow usage for a number of days?

If not, is there a system like the public transport cards in use in the Netherlands/London so that you can take any tram/bus, or do I need to buy single tickets for every trip?

I do see the carnaval tickets available right now, but I doubt those will still be available or valid in September. But something like that is exactly what I'm looking for.

you can get day-passes (called "TagesTicket") if you know you need to take the trains regulary on that day. They cost 8.50 for 1 person or 12.90 for 5 persons in the area of cologne, for the other variants check out their site (https://www.vrsinfo.de/tickets/preisliste.html)
