10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Bonn That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

Travel back in time through German history since 1945: Our exhibition starts with the post-War years, new beginnings and the division of Germany. Why did the Cold War come about? How did the two Germanies develop and what links existed between West Germany and Communist East Germany? What prompted Reunification and what challenges has Germany faced since? Political events and developments form the red thread running through the exhibition. Moreover, you will see a broad variety of objects relating to everyday life, culture, business life and world events. Each item in the exhibition has its own story to tell. We present the small private and the large public narratives that changed society. Contemporary witnesses report their personal experiences and memories of their youth. We offer additional special services for kids, families, school classes, students, adults and senior citizens, such as guided visits, audio guides and educational materials.

This museum is easily one of the better museums I've visited. Very large, very well thought-out, engaging, informational and insightful. I spent several hours working my way through the museum, which is organized in a linear fashion progressing through time starting with WWII up to reunification. Many, many items on display with description signs in English and German. More history than you ever wanted to know about the former West Germany (and incidentally/tangentially East Germany and Germany in general of course). Free admission. Gift shop and restrooms on site. Easy to get to via use of the Heussallee/Museumsmeile tram stop just steps from the museum. Definitely recommended.

The museum can be highly recommended. It mainly shows taxidermied animals, which are presented in a natural looking environment. The museum is not too big, but you can nevertheless spend 2 hours there if you want to see everything. At the moment there is a well arranged special exhibition about dinosaurs. In the basement of the building there are some aquariums with live fish. It is also worth mentioning that you can take a break in a cafeteria. The entrance fee for adults is €5 and for pensioners €2.50. The museum is easily accessible by public transport. If you come by car, it is best to use one of the car parks nearby.

With rain threatening and having just arrived in Bonn I negotiated with a taxi driver to take met to the church and wait to bring me back into the city. Had a stroke of luck when he was very excited to do this because he loves this church. Made a flat rate and didn't charge me the waiting time as he wanted to visit the church as well The church is beautiful inside with beautiful murals With the upper church meant for the nobility, I pictured them getting up there via the narrow staircase :) This church is really a must see doesn't matter which way you choose to get there
