If your trip to Bonn is all booked but your itinerary is looking a bit empty, we can give you a helping hand.Stop by Beethoven House. It’s one sight you’ll usually find on most visitors’ must-do lists. If you still have space on that travel schedule, Opera Bonn and Bonn Marketplace will keep you busy too.

If you’re eager for a little more adventure, keep on cruising to Cologne, 16 miles from Bonn. You’ll find plenty more wonderful things to see and do here, including Cologne Cathedral and RheinEnergieStadion. Düsseldorf, 35 miles away, is another road-trip destination that’s worth the drive. Visit Rhine Tower and Duesseldorf City Hall, two popular sights in the area.

• World Conference Center Bonn (2 miles away).

• Palladium (17 miles away).

Sure, you can get around Bonn without renting a vehicle. But with loads to do here, having one would make your stay more enjoyable. If you’re eager to head out of town and into some nature, opt for a car with a bit of power. A larger car like an SUV will take you to the surrounding rolling hills in style and comfort. Prefer to spend most of your getaway in town? A smaller car like a mini or compact is your best bet. Driving through narrow streets and squeezing into tight parking spots will be a cinch in one of these.

You’ll be glad to hear that there’s a huge variety of both economy and luxury rental vehicles available in Bonn. What you end up going with is largely dependent on how much you’re willing to spend and what you’re planning to do. Prestige vehicles offer the best in mod cons and comfort. If you want to treat yourself, why not book a high-end SUV, or perhaps a cushy mid-size sedan? Alternatively, if you’re just after something to get you from A to B at the cheapest price possible, we can help you out with an economy vehicle (or something else that’s unlikely to break the bank).
