"Former capital city" Bonn by yumyum

Bonn Travel Guide: 263 reviews and 861 photos

The only reason why I came to Bonn was to attend Rhineroll's Wineroll VT meeting. Therefore, I only caught a glimpse of this former capital city in rainy weather as we travelled by train outside town into the Ahr wine valley.

    Since Bonn was formerly a Capitol, it must be a nice town. I was a bit confused by all the different train/tram transportation arrangements!!

    Hi Sonja! Great updating! Bonn is a good place for VT-meeting, isn't it? The former capital is still attractive to me, hope to drop by there one day.

    Fabulous updates here. The Rohmuehle is indeed a lovely place for a Sunday brunch.

    Hi Sonja, I saw on Facebook that you added a travelogue to this page, so I came right over! Have you noticed that Christine put up photos especially for you (trams) and me (bikes) on her new Sevilla page?

    Some interesting old architecture there,I see. Bierhaus Machold sounds great. Maybe we could translate their menu into English :-) Great hotel tip! As I know Bonn was only temporary seat of government during the Cold War, the capital was always in Berlin.
