City guide
Bonn
Bonn was West Germany's capital until 1990 and still hosts federal ministries and 20 UN institutions alongside Beethoven's birthplace. Its compact old town pairs a baroque electoral palace and Rhine-side promenades with a dense Museum Mile, giving it a studious, institutional feel rather than a typical tourist city.
