What to do

Bonn Minster (German: Bonner Münster): This Roman Catholic church is one of Germany’s oldest churches, having been built in the 11th century. It has the only well-preserved Romanesque cloister north of the Alps.

Beethoven-Haus: The house where Ludwig van Beethoven was born is always interesting to visit. A new permanent exhibition opened in the Beethoven Year 2020. But not only Beethoven was home in Bonn, but also Heinrich Heine (during his studies), Ernst Moritz Arndt as professor and Robert Schumann.

Botanical gardens: In spring, the flowers begin to bloom! The botanical gardens surround the Poppelsdorf Palace, which was carefully restored after the Second World War.

Museum Mile and Government Quarter: The road from the center to the government quarter is the so-called “Museumsmeile”. Here you will find a variety of important museums that are interesting to visit. For more than 40 years Bonn was the capital of Germany, numerous ministries still have their headquarters here and Bonn is the German UN site.
