When the stalls at the Bonn Christmas market close and the pre-Christmas stress subsides, many of us look forward to a reflective and relaxing Christmas time with our loved ones.

For all those who don't want to let the magic of Christmas slip away, there is the opportunity to meet up with friends and family for a relaxed end to the Christmas season.

After a shopping spree or a visit to the city center, you also have the opportunity between the years and in the first week of January to recapture some of the flair of the past Christmas market.
