Bonn Weihnachtsmarkt

Hi Everyone,

It’s Emese writing: I couldn’t wait longer to share you our recent German experience, occured just week. If you are as obsessed with Christmas, as me, you already know, what I am talking about!
The Christmas market in Bonn opened last week and we were lucky enough to visit it immediately. The train was more crowded than usually and the excitement was felt in the air. Eight friends volunteered to introduce us the market and I can easily admit, that it lived up our expectations!
The first surprising thing we came across: the lights of the city. Even the smallest houses were decorated, not to talk about the main square, where the whole event was organised. First of all we faced one “Glühwein” place (out of the thousand), to warm up and create a good atmosphere. Then we walked to explore the market and the creations that were sold there (you are able to buy literally everything from the most exclusive spices, until the hand- made jewelleries and clothes). Moreover, a classical orchestra plays Christmas songs in the background. As it cannot be enough from eating: believe me, after a typical German “Currywurst” the whole world becomes more cosy. All of the people were extremely friendly: I accidentally stepped a guy’s foot, then he wanted to give me his Glühwein as a response...:)
It was the first Christmas market for Vaida, Lucy and Gintare and even though, there is a similar one in Budapest I have to admit, that it isn’t even close the one in Bonn.
All in all: it was a perfect start of the Christmas season and I can’t wait to visit all of the “Weihnachtsmarkt” nearby! Hopefully, with snow...

Ciao,
Emese
