4 Bonn in the Christmas Season Promising aromas of hot-spiced wine, fir sprigs and roasted almonds begin to permeate the city in the weeks just before Christmas. The streets and town squares are drowned in a sea of golden lights and sparkling Christmas decorations the Christmas Season has found its way into the city. Affectionately decorated little huts begin to appear, housing traditional handicraftsmen, offering delicious treats like gingerbread cake or hot chocolate with German stollen fruit cake. The White Fleet on the River Rhine also offers the guests a special Christmas ambience. Santa Claus himself has even been booked by the operator of passenger services Bonner Personenschifffahrt (BPS), who will come directly on board with many gifts and surprises for the children. Romantic cruises in the festively decorated salon are given that special touch with hot-spiced wine and cookies and are offered throughout the entire Advent Season. If you are still interested in a cultural program after so much Christmas cheer, then you are cordially invited to visit the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany. The exhibition Florenz! (Florence) will open its door on 22 November at the start of the Christmas Market in Bonn. The fascination of the Tuscan city will be presented. The exhibition will be dedicated to the wonderful Florentine spirit (Jacob Burckhardt) with glances into the 700 year history of this city and its art.

5 A short stop-over to the birth-house of Ludwig van Beethoven in Bonngasse will certainly be worth your while.
