Bonn might be overshadowed by its larger siblings Berlin and Munich, but it's a gem waiting to be explored. Ready for an adventure?

Day 1 - Historic Bonn Unveiled

Start off your journey with a rich breakfast in Altstadt, Bonn’s old town which is filled with half-timbered houses and small cafes. Next, let’s dive into history at the Rathaus, the rococo style city hall, that feels like a time machine! Ever feel like Beethoven? Let the Beethoven-Haus, the birthplace of the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven, show you how. Wander among early music scores and Beethoven's hearing aids, and you'd surely be in tears with his 'Choral Symphony No. 9' playing. Wrap up your day by exploring the festive marketplace, Münsterplatz. How does trolling for fresh local produce followed by a wine tasting session sound to you?

Day 2 - Nature and Art at its Best

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be surrounded by more than 300,000 species of plants? At Botanische Gärten der Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, you'll experience just that! Then, head on to the magnificent Poppelsdorfer Schloss, a baroque palace in the heart of the city. Explore the palace’s mineralogical museum and then relax in its Terrace Garden for an afternoon well spent. In the evening, why not discover modern art in the Kunstmuseum Bonn that houses post-war German art? A wrap-up with some fine local craft beers would be an ideal finish, wouldn't it?

Day 3 - Boat Rides and Sky High Views

Imagine starting your day with a scenic boat ride on the Rhine river while witnessing the enchanting Siebengebirge mountain range. Sounds heavenly, right? Next up is the majestic Drachenfels Castle that gives you unparalleled views of the Rhine Valley from its hilltop position. Lastly, why not go to the top of the Post Tower, the tallest building in North Rhine-Westphalia, to catch the sunset? Trust us, the whole of Bonn twinkling in the setting sun is a sight you would not want to miss!
