Most of the city is accessible via bus, train (called the bahn), or walking. Trains also run from city to city. Stops for buses and trains will have a round yellow sign with a green H inside it (Haltestelle). Bus and bahn tickets can be purchased here: SWB Bus and Bahn.

Bahn

The trains can be categorized in two ways: the S-Bahn/tram: “Stadtschnellbahn” (city rapid rail), and the U-Bahn: Untergrundbahn (underground train). Bonn only has S-Bahns, although some run underground for a bit.

Be sure to validating your ticket before you begin using your ticket, or you will be fined! There will be a validation booth called a Entwerter.

Bus

Buses- always enter using the front door and exit at the rear door.

You can purchase a bus ticket from the bus driver or before your trip. Make sure your ticket is validated (stamped) before you board or right after you board (there will be a small machine on the bus).

If you need a more in-depth explanation, I have found a website called The German Way to be very helpful!

I only spent one day here before returning home to my host family, so I unfortunately do not have any recommendations.

I honestly cannot remember where we ate! So sorry!
