Weihnachtsmarkt

There is really no way to describe it.  If you think of the best Christmas craft fair ever, you wouldn’t even be close.  It lasts a month (we aren’t tripping over Thanksgiving here, so it opened on the 20th).

It takes over much of the pedestrian zone in Bonn City Center - to the point where I had problems finding the 20 foot tall Beethoven statue in the middle of the plaza.








The decorations and lights are amazing.  The various streets have slightly different lighting effects.  








This one is cool because it’s Sternstraße - which translates as “Star Street.”






They even put up cool street signs.



Of course, it’s Germany, so there are stands of Gluhwein (sweet mulled wine) every hundred meters.
