Bonn: A city you will love

The city of Bonn with its baroque buildings and centuries of history is at the same time a modern and dynamic city due to its large number of international organizations. Bonn is a college town and home to over 35,000 students from all over the world. Given the city’s welcoming student atmosphere and international flair, it doesn’t take long to fully arrive in Bonn and call the former German capital your new home. In addition, Bonn is known for its very high quality of life and low crime rate.
