Description

Bonn's story began long before it was the reluctant Capital of Germany! A Roman fortress, a hideout for hated religious rebels, and the childhood home of Germany's most famous composer, together with a small and friendly group, we'll mix history with local legends, unknown stories and some German humor (for better or worse) along the way. This tour is perfect for anyone looking to get to know Bonn beyond the beautiful exterior. History lovers, music fans, families, and curious travelers alike will love exploring with us.

Here's what you'll find along the way:

- Bonner Münster, the center point of our growth
- The Beethoven Monument & our favorite son's past in the city
- Our brewing culture, where weddings spark wars & sexy spies come to influence world politics
- The Sterntor, a medieval gate that mirrors Bonn's growth, change, & tradition
- The Altes Rathaus will show you the worst & best of our recent past
- Rhine views of our UN campus & the famous Dragon Rock

…and more gems & fun facts along the way!

Ready to see Bonn like a local? Join us to discover why this quiet city has always played a bigger role than its size suggests. See you soon in Bonn!
