Whether from Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Brussels, Amsterdam or Zurich – the federal city of Bonn is very well connected in regional, national and international rail transport.

ICE trains commute regularly from Bonn's main station to Berlin, stopping only in Cologne along the entire route. In addition, many ICE trains stop at Siegburg/Bonn station, which is on the high-speed Frankfurt-Cologne line. From there, light rail trains take guests to downtown Bonn in about 20 minutes.

Bonn can also be reached asleep by night train operated by ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways), for example from Zurich or Amsterdam.
