Introduction to Bad Godesberg6km (4 miles) S of central Bonn Part of greater Bonn, Bad Godesberg is one of the Rhine's oldest spa towns. It's located just opposite the legendary Siebengebirge (Seven Mountains), with a view of Drachenfels (Dragon's Rock), where, according to legend, Siegfried slew the dragon. You can still see some ancient castle ruins on the hills, such as Godesberg Castle, built in the 13th century by the electors of Cologne (its ruins have been incorporated into the Ringhotel Rheinhotel Dreesen). From the promenade along the Rhine, you can watch a flow of boats and barges wending their way up and down the river. Most of the spa's activities center on the small but elegant 18th-century Redoute Palace. Theaters, concerts, and social functions offer a constant whirl of events. Since these events are not permanent, check with the tourist office, which publishes a weekly list of current events happening at the time of your visit. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip. Related Features
