Hostels in Cologne
Germany’s Cologne is the fourth largest city in the country and contains some beautiful sites that are bound to attract people on holiday. For those looking to rent hostels perhaps the best and worst time to visit the city is during its Carnival. If you love crowds and to see the city at is most merry this is the time to go, but you will be surrounded by loads of people. On November 11th at 11:11 the Carnival season begins and continues until Ash Wednesday. As well as hostels in
Cologne, Wimdu offers variety of accommodation styles across the world such as
apartments in Edinburgh,
Paris and
Amsterdam. During this time of year over a million people will celebrate in the streets, many in one of Cologne’s numerous pubs. The city is reputed to have the most pubs per capita in Europe. Outside of festivals, those looking to stay in the city, see some site and find a nice
hostel, should consider places in the older parts of town near one of the 12 Romanesque Churches or the old Cologne City Hall. There are historic gates, churches and shopping centres all around the city.
Hostels with Wimdu
One of the best ways to see Carnival is through the eyes of a local. A good way to do this is to rent your accommodation through a private homeowner with spare bedrooms. It is possible to stay this way all over the world and specifically during Carnival in Cologne you can get the best advice about which pubs to visit, what historic sites are having special events and which areas of the city to avoid and at what times. At

apartment is often equal in price to a hostel, if not sometimes cheaper. So not only do you get great advice on Cologne but you have more Euros to spend on the fun parts of your holiday.
