Bonn in Pictures

My Rhineland stories were captured in the last post, but I had so many pictures from site seeing in Matt's host city Bonn that I wanted to share. Enjoy!
Pandora charms! The Rhineland is famous for labels and high end shopping
Matt riding the train in the city : )


A super old church that Matt knows all of the history!! A former site of worship for the Romans, then the foundation of a very old church

Beethoven was born in Bonn, and the most of the city is dedicated to his memory, life, and music

The main Bonn University building is in a former palace!

The weather was so amazing - I hope it starts to warm up in Berlin like this!!!

Quaint houses line the river and streets of Bonn

The Poppelsdorf Palace

Flowers already starting to bloom!!!

Strolling through Bonn's botanical garden - it was such a pretty day and Bonn had so much green space in the city

The Poppelsdorf Palace from behind

A medieval fortress slightly outside the city
Konrad Adeneur as a Giant Head Statue!

The official Summer Residence of the German Chancellor


The Rhine

The church in the middle of the city
