Rosa Pracht vor AltbaufassadenMehr zur Kirschblüte in BonnKirschblüten? Dann ist die Antwort: Bonn. Denn der wohl bekannteste Kirschblüten-Spot in NRW ist Bonn. An der Heerstraße und Breite Straße kann es schon mal richtig voll werden. Dann kannst Du in den Cafés und Restaurants am Straßenrad die Zeit überbrücken, bis die Straße frei ist für das perfekte Foto. Oder Du besuchst die Straßen fernab der Wochenenden und Feiertage. Dann kannst Du hier gemütlich schlendern und Dich von der rosa Pracht beeindrucken lassen.

Here you can not only marvel at the cherry blossom, but also stroll up and down the street - for a springtime shopping experience. And afterwards, you can stop off at one of the many cafés or restaurants for refreshments. This gives "enjoying spring" a whole new meaning.
