Beethoven's cradle, a Romanesque giant and an electoral palace turned university — Bonn wears its history lightly.

• Visit the Beethoven-Haus, birthplace of the great composer
• Circle the Bonner Münster, the Rhineland's Romanesque masterpiece
• Sweep past the Kurfürstliches Schloss, palace turned campus
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in German and English.

What to expect
The Beethoven-Haus opens on a high note — the pink townhouse where Ludwig van was born in 1770. Riddles play through prodigy years and famous scowls.
The Bonner Münster follows, five towers of Romanesque gravity built over the graves of two Roman martyrs whose giant stone heads lie outside. Trivia investigates.
Then the Kurfürstliches Schloss stretches its baroque wings — once the electors' palace, now the university's main building, with the Hofgarten lawn out front.
Around two hours through the city that ran West Germany for forty years. The leaderboard decides the final movement — fortissimo.
