Insider tip in November: The carnival museum in Düsseldorf

The carnival revellers are back! On 11 November, the fifth season was ushered in in the Rhineland carnival strongholds - including Düsseldorf, of course. In the NRW state capital, however, it's carnival all year round anyway - at least in the Düsseldorf House of Carnival.

Amazement on two floors
The Comitee Düsseldorfer Carnveval e.V. offers the opportunity to learn a lot about the winter customs in a listed building in the centre of Düsseldorf's old town. Discover the carnival mottos from over 70 years, old programme booklets, photos of all the prince and princess couples and jester caps from various decades. You can also take a close-up look at the prince's regalia and view the drawings of various Rose Monday parade floats by the famous float designer Jacques Tilly. The medals of various carnival societies, thousands of which hang from the ceiling in the medal room, are particularly impressive. Admission to the museum is 3.00 euros.

At the saver price to Düsseldorf
The house of carnival is located on Zollstraße, just two kilometres from Düsseldorf Youth Hostel. Families travelling long distances will find the youth hostel the ideal accommodation for exploring the Haus des Karnevals and the many other attractions of the NRW state capital. At the „Promotional price 3-for-2“ you even get one night in a family room for free with a three-day stay. You can find this and other offers for families on the Düsseldorf Youth Hostel page.
