Christmas market Bonn

The Christmas market in Bonn's city center is a vibrant celebration of senses and traditions that warms the heart every year during Advent, drawing visitors from near and far. Up until December 23, the pre-Christmas period brings Münsterplatz to life as festive stalls open their gates and the air fills with the sounds of Christmas music and the scents of mulled wine and roasted almonds.

It's the picturesque backdrop of Bonn's city center, with its historic buildings and streets, that makes the market truly unique. Particularly, the venerable Bonn Minster, which majestically presides over the market stalls, bestows an incomparable atmosphere upon the market. The stalls, stretching along the adjacent streets, offer an assortment of craftsmanship, Christmas decorations, and gift ideas that dazzle both young and old.

Visitors can look forward to special highlights, such as the Advent calendar at the old town hall or the ice rink that promises cheerful skating under the stars. What makes the Bonn Christmas market a must-visit is the combination of festive mood, the variety of the stalls, and the warm hospitality experienced here.

A distinctive feature of the market is the mix of traditional crafts and modern elements that create a bridge between past and present. Culinary delights also abound for visitors: from potato pancakes and gingerbread hearts to the classic mulled wine, the variety of flavors is a feast for the palate.
