Bonn celebrates: two shopping Sundays with fantastic celebrations!
On July 10th, the Bonn council decided at a meeting to allow two shopping Sundays next autumn. This means that shops in the city center are allowed to open from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on days when major events take place. This has already been practiced in the past and is very popular. The people of Bonn combine this Sunday shopping fun with exciting events that enliven the city center.
