Old Town Hall & Market Square
Altes Rathaus
A pink Rococo town hall completed in 1737, with a daily produce market on the square in front and home to the Christmas market in winter.
The facade of the Old Town Hall is a Rococo design in pink and white, with gilded decoration and curved staircases on both sides. State guests such as Charles de Gaulle, John F. Kennedy and Mikhail Gorbachev have greeted crowds from these steps. From Monday to Saturday mornings, the square hosts a flower and produce market, and the surrounding pedestrian shopping streets and cafés are lively. It is about a 5-minute walk from both Beethoven House and Bonn Minster. The interior is open only on certain designated open days.
