Overview
- Bonn’s Old Town cherry trees are at peak bloom over Easter, drawing heavy crowds to the narrow streets.
- The timing came earlier than usual after a warm, sunny February and March, according to the city.
- To manage safety, Bonn is closing the blossom routes to through traffic on weekends and holidays—Fridays and holidays from 2 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m.—with weekday closures possible if numbers spike.
- Visitors are asked to come by foot, bike or bus, and the city bans large photo setups and drone flights without a permit.
- The show lasts only 10 to 14 days, and forecast highs above 20°C can shorten it, so the famous canopies on Heerstraße and Breite Straße are best seen soon.
