The way to the heart is through the stomach, apparently - so why not head out for a cosy brunch this morning? There is not just enough time to have a feast but also to chat and get to know each other better. These places in Bonn offer great brunches.

If you don’t have time for an extended breakfast this morning: A lovely cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream or a coffee in a comfortable setting can anglos lead to extensive chats and exchange of loving looks. These cafés in Bonn offer just the right setting.

This idea if mainly for couples who are not in a middle of a relationship crisis, as one might be left behind. In the Escape Room „Flight risk“ („Fluchtgefahr“) in Endenich, couples and small groups can solve mysteries, figure out codes and find the solution to some secrets. Because the Escape Room also offers „Battle rooms“, this is also suitable for a double date.

The Botanic Gardens in Poppelsdorf is always inviting - also on a cold day in February. From 10am until 4pm you can admire the first plants there. Alternatively, a walk by the Rhine could be lovely. Holding hands in the dark could lead to some spring fever, even when it’s cold…
