Roughly 20km south of Cologne on the river Rhine is the town Bonn. With 2000 years of history this town is bursting with culture and fantastic styles of buildings going through every conceivable architectural history. In 1770 one of the most brilliant composers was born, Ludwig van Beethoven. The influence of this composer can be seen here with the Museum Mile which sees over 1 million tourists a year. Great festivals such as “Bonner Sommer” takes place every year with thousands of tourists gathering to see this spectacular event. Take a stroll in the botanical gardens or wander around the beautifully preserved churches, or simply walk along the river Rhine and enjoy the view.
