    You offer a costume flea market for Museum Night and then charge full admission for a whole Museum Night ticket. We were only able to spot one stand. You can also publish this beforehand, that's how we went all the way around. Really bad A flea market is a flea market and doesn't cost €20 to enter, it's a complete rip-off! What costumes we could see from the entrance were old-fashioned, carnival medals and other stuff, etc. I can't say anything about the museum, but that's enough for me. You won't see me there anymore.

    Was there for a meeting and the museum was unfortunately closed due to renovations. But we were able to visit the carriage hall with Holger Kirch, the Cologne train conductor. That was a great experience. I'm looking forward to the time when the museum opens again and we can take a walk through the museum with Erich.

    We were here because of the satchel fair. I'm not interested in carnival Very large event with excellent advice. .In the end you probably pay a little more than elsewhere but the experience for the little ones is priceless

    Here you can find out everything about the Cologne Carnival. Guided tours are also available. The wagon building hall is also very interesting. Here you can look at the floats that were part of the Rose Monday parade. The highlight is the float from our Prince Carnival.

    At the end of February, in Cologne, the traditional carnival takes place. Everyone dresses in traditional white and red clothes or disguises themselves in any way. Then a procession of masked people passes by, candy is thrown. The entire history of the carnival is preserved in the museum Even here, all kinds of carts, gondolas, trains are stored, on which people get on, pass with the procession, throw candy and flowers and greet each other with the phrase "Köle alaaf" Kamele" and rejoice for the coming of spring

    Here you can experience the history and present of the Cologne / Rhenish carnival. The Cologne resident would say: I really like Hätz op. You don't have to be crazy to find this exhibition very interesting. Highly recommended. Unfortunately, there are somewhat strange opening times (because a lot of private work takes place here).
