Bonner Weihnachtsmarkt - Remigiusplatz

The Remigiusplatz section of the Bonner Weihnachtsmarkt is a charming and photogenic corner of Bonn's beloved inner-city Christmas market, which spreads across multiple squares and streets in the heart of the city. While the main market anchors itself at Münsterplatz, Bottlerplatz, and Friedensplatz, Remigiusplatz adds a quieter, equally festive dimension to the overall experience — and boasts one of the market's most talked-about attractions: a life-size illuminated Christmas ornament that serves as a popular photo opportunity for visitors of all ages. As part of the wider Bonner Weihnachtsmarkt, this square participates in the same rich mix of over 160 vendor stalls offering artisan crafts, seasonal gifts, and indulgent food and drink. Visitors can browse handmade decorations and unique gift ideas while savoring the aromas of roasted almonds, Glühwein, and freshly grilled bratwurst drifting through the crisp winter air. The market runs daily from noon, with food and drink stalls staying open later on weekends, making it ideal for an evening stroll. Remigiusplatz also takes on a second life after the main Christmas market closes on December 23, transforming into the venue for the Dreikönigsmarkt — a post-Christmas market running from December 27 through January 6 (Epiphany). This extension offers a relaxed way to enjoy the festive season between the holidays, with Glühwein, bratwurst, and a cozy atmosphere. Entry to the entire Bonner Weihnachtsmarkt, including the Remigiusplatz area, is completely free, making it an accessible and rewarding stop for any traveler visiting Bonn in December.
