To warn you, the timeframe between the new year and Ash Wednesday in Cologne is quite outstanding, as this is when the world-famous Cologne Carnival takes place. The street carnival, where people celebrate, sing, and dance in the pubs and bars around the Alter Markt and Heumarkt squares, is the event’s highlight. Visitors will also observe the distinct joie de vivre of Cologne in the cosy, rustic pubs that serve kölsch, the city’s signature beer. The Rhine city also has a thriving music and art scene, making it a fun place to visit. Christopher Street Day, Musical Dome, the Wallraf Richartz Museum, and the Ludwig Museum, which houses works by Picasso, Warhol, and Lichtenstein, are among the highlights.
Cologne is known for its upbeat attitude and party atmosphere. The city is a matter of the heart, an emotion, and an unwaveringly positive mental state. Cologne Carnival, kölsch beer, and, of course, the cathedral are at the heart of this outlook.
