Are you planning to attend a major concert in Cologne? Your first choice might be to look for accommodation right in the city. But just 30 minutes away lies a quieter, often overlooked alternative: Bonn.
Here are five reasons why Bonn is the smarter choice for your stay:
1. Fast Direct Travel to Cologne
Bonn and Cologne are seamlessly connected. Regional trains and S-Bahn services run frequently throughout the day and evening, meaning you can travel from Bonn main train station to Cologne city center or concert venues in as little as 30 minutes. Whether your concert is at the Lanxess Arena, Palladium, or one of the city’s many open-air venues, you’ll get there with no stress—and no overnight parking charges.
2.Lower Prices, Higher Comfort
Accommodation prices in Cologne tend to skyrocket around major events. By staying in Bonn, you can avoid inflated pricing while enjoying a more comfortable, spacious stay in a well-equipped studio apartment. At Home & Co Aparthotel Bonn, every studio is designed for both short and longer stays, with thoughtful features like kitchenettes, fast Wi-Fi, and stylish interiors.
3.Peace and Quiet After the Show
After the adrenaline of a concert, the last thing most people want is noise, crowded streets, or long queues. In Bonn, you’ll return to a peaceful neighborhood, where you can relax, recharge, and sleep. You’ll wake up to quiet streets, great local cafés, and the feeling of being on a real city escape—not just a rushed overnight.
4.More Than Just a Place to Sleep
Visit the historic Altstadt, walk along the Rhine, or grab brunch in one of Bonn’s cafés before heading home. Staying at Home & Co places you in the middle of a walkable, elegant neighborhood just minutes from Bonn’s main station.
5.Two Cities, One Stay
Choosing Bonn doesn’t mean missing out on anything. In fact, you’re gaining more: two cities, in one itinerary. Whether you’re coming for Billie Eilish, a major festival, or any of the many international acts that tour Cologne, Bonn offers a smarter, more relaxed base to make the most of your trip. If you’re looking for thoughtful accommodation that combines design, flexibility, and location, Home & Co Aparthotel Bonn is your perfect match!
