FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 17, 2012 -- Germany is not the first place you think of for carnivals, but the city of Cologne has great enthusiasm for own take on the traditional February celebrations.

Cologne’s carnival, Germany’s answer to the Mardi Gras, has all the usual mad-cap ingredients – fools, balls, parties and parades, culminating in the grandest, the Rose Monday Parade. Rising magnificently above all the jollifications are the famed twin spires of Cologne’s cathedral, the city’s crowning glory. Inside the cathedral are believed to lie the remains of the Three Wise Men. It is at the heart of the pedestrianised zone, an area also crammed with outstanding museum and galleries.

The four-star Park Inn by Radisson Belfortstrasse has all the mod cons you would expect, including an indoor pool, gym and sauna. It is a 10 minute walk from both the Cathedral and carnival routes.

The price from £220 is per person based on two sharing three night’s four-star room only accommodation and includes return flights from London Stansted.
