Bonn Christmas Market
 
Bonn is the former capital of Germany and 19th largest city. Located about 20 kilometres south of Cologne the impressive illuminated façades on Münsterplatz and its neighbouring streets are the festive backdrop for Bonn's Christmas market. From 1 December the beautiful old town hall is transformed into an enormous Advent calendar, with one more window being lit up each day. There are Christmas concerts and a daily programme of events to enjoy. Christmas shopping calls for Christmas markets, and Bonn has just the right atmosphere and the right spirit to go with them. Shop at Münsterplatz, Bottlerplatz Windeckstrasse, Friedensplatz and Vivatsgasse  where you'll find everything from ingredients for special recipes to various art and craft items. You'll also find mulled wine, hot mead and chestnuts. Purchase beeswax candles directly from the bee-keeper. While you shop in this illuminated environment, classical symphonies play in the background. What's more, there is a 280-square-meter ice rink at Friedensplatz—a huge hit amongst one and all.

 About the town of Bonn
 
The history and fame of Bonn on the Rhine is all about Beethoven where the composer was born just under 240 years ago.

Some of the main tourist attractions and highlights of Bonn are:

  • Beethoven House with the world's most extensive collection of Beethoven exhibits.
  • The old quarter and its impressive buildings on a much-admired town square.
  • A rococo-style Old Town Hall on Marktplatz (market square) with a bronze Beethoven statue on Münsterplatz (minster square) and a beautiful Romanesque church.
