Invigorated by an extended and rich breakfast, we stroll through Bonngasse to Beethoven\u2019s birthplace, today a museum. Then, we pass, via Sternstra\u00dfe, the famous house with the chimes. Left hand, walking through Vivatsgasse, we traverse Altes Stadttor and finally reach M\u00fcnsterplatz with the Beethoven monument. My very personal suggestion: don\u2019t fail to have a short break at historic \u201cMilchh\u00e4uschen\u201d (now MIDI-Caf\u00e9) and enjoy the marvelous view over Bonn\u2019s Minster!<\/p>\n
After a delicious coffee or, alternatively, a cool drink, we stroll towards University of Bonn. Along the way, we cross Kaiserplatz with Kreuzkirche and enjoy the fantastic view over the entire Poppelsdorfer Allee. To the left, behind the university building, we turn to magnificent Hofgarten and continue walking towards Rhine promenade. Passenger boat \u201cFilia Rheni\u201d suggests a short excursion to K\u00f6nigswinter, along the former government district with assembly room, waterworks, and Langer Eugen. After arriving there, we continue walking towards the lower terminus of Drachenfelsbahn. Germany\u2019s oldest rack-railway transports us on 220m high Drachenfels hill from where we enjoy a dreamlike view over the whole Rhine valley. Under fair weather conditions, even K\u00f6ln is within sight.<\/p>\n
We take the way back to the valley. So we have many opportunities to marvel at the numerous points of interest by the wayside. Furthermore, there is the caringly restored Drachenburg Palace inviting hungry walkers to a break at the Bistro. Those wanting to learn more about the dreamlike surroundings can pay a visit to the attached museum of the history of nature protection. Then we continue descending at slow pace, through the picturesque lanes of K\u00f6nigswinter towards landing stage to take our boat in the direction of Bonn.<\/p>\n
What would be a vacation day in Bonn without delicious coffee and homemade cake? For the afternoon, I thus recommend some hearty refreshment at tradition-rich Caf\u00e9haus Kleimann. It\u2019s quite easy to reach: from Bonn\u2019s Rhine promenade, we stroll towards the Opera House, enjoy the historic sights of the city, and finally stop in the very snug ambiance of this traditional caf\u00e9. Owner family Jachmich produces cakes as if by magic \u2013 there is the agony of choice. Satisfied and happy, we stroll back to the hotel to have a short rest in our cozy room.<\/p>\n
For the evening, I suggest a really authentic experience: Rhenish charm in unadulterated form! Brauhaus B\u00f6nnsch at Friedensplatz is exactly the right place. Here one enjoys Rhenish savoir-vivre with home-brewed beer and regional delicacies. Thanks to its central situation and atmospheric ambiance, Brauhaus B\u00f6nnsch ensures best preconditions for a tranquil and snug epilogue of the evening. Try Rhenish specialties such as hearty roast meat or peas stew \u2013 freshly prepared according to seasons.<\/p>\n
Up for a slightly different city tour? In this case, my suggestion for the evening should please you. At nightfall, we have an appointment with Bonn\u2019s night guard who\u2019s waiting for us at Alter Zoll\/Brassertufer. We\u2019ll make a magic time journey into historic-electoral Bonn of the 17th century. Strolling through the remote lanes and angles of the city, we have an idea of the dangers Bonn\u2019s citizens were exposed to during that period of time. After am exciting tour of about two hours, we have deserved a small night-cup: at tradition-rich inn \u201cZum Gequetschten\u201d, we conclude the evening with a good Koelsch and enjoy the amazing atmosphere. Fortunately, our way back to the hotel is quite short and there we can let ourselves be pampered after a beautiful day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
