What to doActivities in Bonn
Not in the mood for organisation? No problem! With our favourite activities in Bonn, you can keep yourself busy without having to make a detailed plan.
Boat ride on the Rhine
Whether regular or themed tours, a boat trip on the Rhine is always worthwhile! Just relax and enjoy the view of the scenic surroundings. It gives you that cruise feeling!
Guided tour through Bonn
If you want to get to know the most important places and the history of the city, but don't know exactly where to start, the best thing to do is take a guided city tour. The offers range from themed tours to a history tour with all the important facts about Bonn. For those who are a little less comfortable on foot, we recommend a ride on the convertible bus.
Walking & Cycling in the Bonn Rhine Meadows
With its 160 hectares, Bonn's Rhine meadows offer the ideal opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a while. Enjoy a long walk along the 45 km of footpaths or rent a bike and go for a relaxing ride.
Visit Bad Godesberg
The district of Bad Godesberg used to be its own city and is definitely worth a day trip. If you're already staying here, you should definitely get to know the neighbourhood ;) We have compiled everything important about Bad Godesberg for you.
Tip for rainy days: Escape Rooms
You know the story: city trip, bad weather, no desire to go to a museum... Luckily, there are countless Escape Rooms in Bonn! Perfect for all those who like it exciting.
GastronomyGetting hungry?
With so many things to do, your stomach will sooner or later start to growl! Luckily, there are some culinary highlights in Bonn that you should definitely try.
Specialities of the region
Like every region, Bonn and the surrounding area are also known for typical regional dishes. In addition to the not quite low-calorie Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest cake), you should definitely try a Rhenish Sauerbraten ("sour roast") on your trip to Bonn. If you're feeling a little peckish, we recommend the "Halve Hahn", which you'll find on almost every menu in the Rhineland. This is not chicken, by the way, but a "Röggelchen" (rye roll) with butter, Gouda and mustard. And for the adventurous: "Himmel un Ääd", a wild mix of mashed potatoes and apple sauce, often served in combination with fried black pudding and roasted onions. Mhhh...
Restaurant Strandhaus
Attention gourmets! The Strandhaus in Bonn's old town emphasises high quality and a charming ambience. There is something for every gourmet on the varied menu of gourmet cuisine.
Let’s have a drink
If you want to get the most out of your city trip, you should definitely take a detour into Bonn's nightlife. You can find the most important bars and clubs on portals such as Tripadvisor.
Window shoppingShopping recommendations
Whether you're a fashion addict or just want to stroll through the shops and get inspired - Bonn has a lot to offer when it comes to shopping!
Off through the pedestrian zone
Every shopping tour should start in the pedestrian zone. Here you will find a colourful selection of shops to suit every taste. And if you get hungry in between, you can snack your way through the selection of snack bars and restaurants. By the way, Bonn's pedestrian zone is one of the oldest in the country.
huma shopping world
About 20 minutes from the city centre in Sankt-Augustin, you'll find the largest shopping centre in the region: the huma Shoppingwelt. Here you can find everything your fashion heart desires!
Maximiliancenter
For all mall fans who don't want to leave the city centre, we recommend the Maximiliancenter right next to Bonn's main railway station. After a temporary closure due to flood damage, it has been shining again in new splendour since summer 2022.
