Sightseeing in and around Germany
Hello everyone! :) If you are in your semester break or just have little more time during your weekend, you can consider a further trip! Germany has many beautiful places, which are worth discovering. Besides German cities, we will show you that visiting our neighbor countries is easier than you imagined! :)

With the beginning of a new semester (Summer Semester 2024) our student semesterticket functions as Deutschlandticket! There is no need to upgrade your ticket in order to travel around Germany :) You can find your semesterticket in the Uni Bonn App. But if you want to receive a paper version, please contact ASTA.

Trip to Luxembourg by Klaudia İnanç
Where you can go with this ticket? I went for a one day trip to Luxembourg :) I took the train from Köln to Luxembourg with transfer in Koblenz. My favourite place, which I can’t recommend enough, is the Villa Vauban, an art museum, with beautiful art pieces. The museum is surrounded by a small park which will be beautiful in spring! If you like to have a panoramic view on the city, you should try Pfaffenthal Panoramic Elevator! :)
Weekend in Amsterdam by Klaudia İnanç
Amsterdam is famous for its canals and architecture. If you like aesthetic old buildings, I’m sure you will enjoy your time in there! I barely use the public transportation in there, instead I explore this beautiful city on my feet. I will share some of the photos in here, so that you can have a bit of insight of the city. I would highly recommend a place that serves delicious potatoes. It is very tiny place, which offers only take-away fries. You can’t miss it due to the long queue which is there every day!
How to get to Amsterdam? You can choose your side – bus or train. The good news is that you can find both of them with the direct connection.
Enjoy!
Trip to Bodensee by David Bethe
Learn to greet people by telling them to "greet God" (Grüß Gott). It sounds less foreboding in Bayerisch German! The Bodensee is located next to 2 German states and 4 nations in total. It is culturally and geologically striking. You can bike along the lake, climb mountains, go shopping behind medieval redoubts in Lindau's old city center, or have dinner in the mountains above Bregenz in Austria! You can also take a ferry to Mainau island, which is renowned for its beautiful flowers. Do make sure to turn off your roaming data if you plan to enter or go near Switzerland, though!
