Bonn Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

Beethoven's cradle, a Romanesque giant and an electoral palace turned university — Bonn wears its history lightly. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Bonn on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Visit the Beethoven-Haus, birthplace of the great composer • Circle the Bonner Münster, the Rhineland's Romanesque masterpiece • Sweep past the Kurfürstliches Schloss, palace turned campus Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size. The former capital still knows how to hold court.

Starting at Brüdergasse 8 in the old town, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and follow Bonn's compact centre. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. The Beethoven-Haus opens on a high note — the pink townhouse where Ludwig van was born in 1770. Riddles play through prodigy years and famous scowls. The Bonner Münster follows, five towers of Romanesque gravity built over the graves of two Roman martyrs whose giant stone heads lie outside. Trivia investigates. Then the Kurfürstliches Schloss stretches its baroque wings — once the electors' palace, now the university's main building, with the Hofgarten lawn out front. Around two hours through the city that ran West Germany for forty years. The leaderboard decides the final movement — fortissimo.
