Spring Tips

Spring in Bonn and the region – just stunning! There is a reason that Bonn is also known as the most northern city of Italy. As soon as a few warmer sunrays emerge from the pale winter sky, tables and chairs (if necessary with warm blankets) are placed in front of many small cafés in the city centre, the Altstadt and the Südstadt. The Rheinpromenade is bursting with afternoon strollers, joggers and cyclists and even some intrepid pioneers dare a first picnic in one of the numerous green areas of the city. Beyond those everyday experiences there is so much more to discover in Bonn and the region –find out more in our spring tips!
