Attractions and Places to Visit in Bonn

Bonn is one of the oldest cities of Germany and used to be the capital city of west Germany until the reunification of the country. The birthplace of Beethoven hosts some of the most important educational institutions in Germany, while apart from its historical significance and cultural heritage, it’s also a place of natural beauty, settling on the shores of the river Rhine.
Though probably best known as the capital of West Germany from 1949 to 1990 (and of reunified Germany until 1999), Bonn actually has a history dating back to the 1st century BC. Roman soldiers were stationed here and the largest known Roman fort was built at Bonn. In medieval times, the town gained prominence when the Archbishop of Cologne transferred his seat to Bonn. The city's most famous son is Ludwig van Beethoven, born in 1770 at Bonngasse, where a museum now honors him..
