Bonn, Germany's former capital, is a city with a long and storied history. A mix of ancient and modern, Bonn is known for its quaint cobbled streets, half-timbered homes, and baroque-style architecture.

Bonn was the capital of West Germany from 1949 to 1990 and the capital of Germany from 1990 to 1999. The city's most iconic site is the Beethoven House, the birthplace of the iconic composer, which now serves as a museum dedicated to his life and work. Other highlights include the Poppelsdorf Palace, one of the city's grandest buildings, and the beautiful gardens of the Botanical Garden. Bonn is also a great place for a leisurely stroll along the Rhine River or to enjoy a beer in one of the city's many beer gardens. With its stunning scenery and wealth of culture, Bonn is sure to delight and surprise you.

Get yourself cosy in one of the nice cafés. My personal favourite is Café Blau. Nothing fancy but a local cafe next to the university with lots of locals hanging out there getting a snack during the day.
