The market square or what they call in Bonn as the Marktplatz has come to be the best bet to conduct your shopping in Bonn and generally in Germany. This is due to its avalanche of stores which litter either side of the streets of central Bonn. Even though the shopping stores are the most visible, the number of bars and cafés is also increasing every passing day to meet the demand which is being created by the stores clientele and staff. This rise in shopping malls and stores has played in the clients favor because the resultant competition has lowered the prices of most of the commodities, especially, compared with the nearby city of Cologne which was initially the city for shoppers ahead of Bonn.

It is situated in a location with a friendly ambience where the Poppelsdorfer castle is clearly visible together with can be referred to as the youthful side of Bonn.
