Bonn: southern flair on the northern Rhine

Spoiled by a mild climate and plentiful sunshine, Bonn's inhabitants delight in visiting the many cafes and beer gardens in town. The promenade along the banks of the Rhine teems with cyclists, walkers and joggers. The former capital not only offers a wide range of leisure activities but is also characterised by its commercial dynamism.

High-end research is promoted and sponsored in Bonn - and innovations are achieved there too. The Federal Ministry of Science and the leading research sponsorship organisations are located in Bonn. The area formerly occupied by federal government ministries is now home to Deutsche Post and Deutsche Telekom as well as various UN commissions.

The "museum mile" is the cultural hub of the city. The diverse cultural programme in Bonn attracts an international audience.

Add to this the excellent transport infrastructure and it is understandable why Bonn has become one of the five most attractive locations for international business executives. And Bonn continues to invest in its already well-developed transport system. Cologne-Bonn Airport is only 15 km away. A network of motorways connects the greater Bonn area with Aachen, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt to the south.

The quality of housing in Bonn has been classified as good to very good in 86% of the residential areas. The late 19th-century villas in the south of Bonn are particularly popular along with the houses in Bad Godesberg with a view of the Rhine.

Bonn has many faces - the lively, romantic Rhine, the historic Bonn, and the Bonn shaped by politics and the international community. We are looking forward to hearing from you and will happily provide you with more information.
