Bonn is 25 minutes from Cologne by regional train. It's one of the easiest and most rewarding day trips in western Germany — Beethoven's birthplace, a serious museum mile, and none of the tourist crowds of Cologne.
Cologne has a lot of free — the Cathedral, the bridge, the Rhine, the entire Altstadt. Here's how to do a solid Cologne visit for under €100/person/day (excluding accommodation), with honest numbers.
