Things to Do in Bonn

One of the most important things to do in Bonn is to visit the amazing array of world-class museums covering German history, archaeology, zoology, and fine arts. If you have kids (or a sweet tooth), then take them to the Haribo flagship shop for sugar-filled treats. A much healthier alternative is a trip to Wildpark Venusberg, just outside the city. Here you can see wild boar and deers in their natural habitat. It’s a beautiful place to walk and appreciate the nature around you. Since Bonn is the birthplace of Beethoven, there is an impressive amount of live music. Come to Bonn between August and September and you will catch Beethovenfest. During this month you can see performances every night with orchestras from all over the world.
