Weekend May 18-21 What’s happening in Bonn and the region?

BONN/REGION · It’s a long weekend ahead - so even more reason to check out what’s going on in Bonn, Cologne and the region these days. The FedCon might fascinate you if you’re into SciFi, but with the Lego and the Bonsai Exhibition there are much smaller events taking place which are just as interesting…

COMING UP
