Weiberfastnacht

The first real day of the Cologne Karneval, for a lot of people in the city THE event of the year.

At 11.11 am it all starts.

ATTENTION: Most shops close at about noon! And many bars around Rudolphplatz start their Karnevalsparties . Walk around in your hottest, wildest or funniest costume (nearly everybody does!) and when you get the vibe, celebrate with locals!
