Outside of Spain, the most popular European carnival can be found in Venice, famous for its class and elegance.

You can’t miss the Volo dell'Angelo or the “Flight of the Angel”, the traditional opening ceremony. With Logitravel we can travel to Venice for 339€, this includes flights and 3 nights stay at the 4* Best Western Villa Mapaba, including breakfast.

And in Germany we’re taken to Cologne, where carnival commences on St. Martin's Day, November 11th, with the three main protagonists: the Prince, the Peasant and the Virgin. Carnival itself, also known as the “fifth season of the year” starts on February 7th, with “Weiberfastnacht” a tradition event in which local women take absolute control of the streets. Saturday marks the day of the parade in Neumark, which includes rose guards, lots of dancing and an abundance of beer. Bringing the carnival to a close on Monday also known as, Rosenmontag, masks on floats throw flowers and sweets to the hundreds of spectators that line the streets.
