Hi My knowledge of pubs and restaurants in the Bonn area is soemwhat outdated, so I'm looking for a recommendation for a pub or restaurant in the Bonn area where we can host a VT 'mini meet'. Our requirements are that it's fairly central, affordable and serves good unpretentious food washed down with good wine and ice cold Koelsch! If anyone is interested in joining us, you're welcome to sign up to the meet on the Meetings page. Regards Cathy

I'm looking for a room to rent for this 3 months.

Any tips concerning finding the accomodation would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, I will be going to Bonn for work at the end of February (Wednesday-Thursday) and will stay a few extra days (Friday-Sunday) for pleasure. Besides visiting some sights in Bonn and Koln I would like to go out into the nature one day for a short hike if the weather allows. Maybe 10 km or a bit more. Can somebody recommend some well-marked and/or well-described routes? I'll go by car so transport won't be a problem. If you know of any especially nice tours of Bonn or Koln or other suggestions, that info is appreciated too... Thanks, Dennis

Hello, VTers :-) I will be attending a 3-day conference at the World Conference Centre Bonn (WCCB) on the 31st March and would like to know of any hotels nearby. Anything ranging below 100 Euros a night would be wonderful. It would be great if the location is nearby the WCCB so that I would be able to walk there as I do not want to waste time waiting for the public transport. I've checked out a few hotels on the net and found several such as Zur Post Hotel, Europa Hotel & Consul Hotel but I do not know if they are near the WCCB. I hope someone could help me soon as the conference is just in 3 weeks time :-O! Thank you.

Does anyone know what it that beer is called? Thanks.

I visited a mueseum in Bonn ( I believe) in 1985. I remember a King Tut exhibit as well as a snake exhibit. The snake was in a long glass case. It had apparently died while consuming a large wild boar. My question is- do I have the correct museum, or is it a different one. I was only 12 years old at the time, so it is difficult to remember. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Michelle
