Where to stay during Cologne Carnival
Sexy Carnival takes place during the annual Cologne Carnival Festivities and is one of the busiest times of the year to visit the city. Book your stay well in advance. Note, if you are staying in the old town, you will be in the centre of the party, so expect it to be pretty crazy. Consider staying in the nearby, yet less hectic Belgian quarter if you want a more relaxed stay.
