What makes us special
As a hostel with a focus on cultural experience, we offer school and youth groups an intensive cultural programme, covering the historical background and contemporary history of the city, arts and the theatre as well as today’s youth culture. Bonn’s many and varied museums, the former Federal Parliament Building, Villa Hammerschmidt, the Municipal Theatre – all these are waiting to be discovered. Nature lovers will be enthralled by the Siebengebirge hills close-by, and a media excursion to the WDR in Cologne Köln provides an exciting insight into the world of radio and television. We also offer job application coaching to prepare students for their entry into the world of work, and help apprentices to improve their social skills.

Sights to see
In Bonn history was and still is being made. In many of its museums there is a lot to learn about German history and politics. The Beethoven House and Poppelsdorf Chateau are almost a "must"“ for Bonn visitors. But the city centre with its pleasant shops and cosy pubs is also well worth a visit, both during the day and at night.
