Anybody want to enlighten me as the best way to get from CGN to Bonn and what to do in Bonn in free time?
thanks
You are correct, sir. You certainly can get to Bonn via Deutsche Bahn richtung Koblenz! You can certainly go from the Hauptbahnhof, but probably from the flughafen as well. I think that the train ride is about 30-45 minutes, depending on what catagory of train you take.
Bonn is smaller than Köln but has its own charm. It is a college town, and used to be the head of government. If you like beer, they are within the 'Kölsch' region. There is a pretty good brauhaus called Bönnsch that I would recommend.
