About
Bonn's market winds through the city centre, from Münsterplatz with the minster and Beethoven statue to Bottlerplatz, Friedensplatz and the lanes in between. Stalls offer decorations, crafts and Rhineland favourites such as potato fritters and mulled wine. New for 2026: the market opens daily at noon, and food and drink stalls stay open later on Fridays and Saturdays. The main station is a few minutes' walk away, so there is no need to drive.
Opening hours
Hours shown are for the sales stalls. Food and drink stalls stay open until 9:30 pm, and until 10:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
