Hello everybody,
I'm visiting friends in the Netherlands soon and am contemplating doing a day trip across the border to Bonn. Rick's Germany book says Bonn is worth visiting for the old town and the Beethoven museum but treats it more as a footnote to the Cologne chapter. Is Bonn worth a stop? Are any of the old West German government buildings like the former chancellery open to the public? I've seen the Haus der Geschichte advertised on the internet plenty. I studied modern German history in university and have an interest in seeing some of the old West German sites, but I'd hope it's more than just peeking at a run-down building through a fence for five seconds if I'm going to invest the time to drive down from the Netherlands. Is there anything else you'd recommend over there? Thanks!
