Don't miss it: Atmospheric Christmas Fairs in the City of Bonn

weihnachtsmarkt

Gingerbread, burnt almonds and Glühwein (mulled wine) - Bonn's Christmas fair will soon conjure up a festive atmosphere in the City. From 19 November until 23 December it will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Every year, Bonns Christmas fair conjures up a festive atmosphere on Münsterplatz and Bottlerplatz, on Windeckstrasse, Vivatsgasse and Friedensplatz. Especially the atmospherically illuminated facades around the Münsterplatz form a festive scenery for the market booths. Up until the end of Christmas fair just a day before christmas, a daily changing programme will be performed on the christmas stage: puppet shows, music of all kinds and the visit of Santa Claus on December 6.

Bonn’s Christmas Markets attune everybody to the coming festive days. An unmistakable smell enchants Bonn’s centre, a mixture of gingerbread, potato pancake, fried sausage, burnt almonds, Koelsch beer and Glühwein - mulled wine. After several years only, the popular ice-skating rink on Friedensplatz has become one of its outstanding features. Every year Bonn’s central Christmas market attracts visitors from all over Germany and from neighbouring countries.

The stage at Sterntor will present a new programme every day. Performances by Bonn choirs and music groups will take place in the evenings. On Saturdays and Sundays, popular artists will make their appearance, beginning in the afternoon.
