Lonely Planet review

A good place to start exploring Bonn's historic centre is on Münsterplatz, where the landmark Münster Basilica was built on the graves of the two martyred Roman soldiers that became the city's patron saints. It's been mostly Gothic since the 13th century, but the Romanesque style survives beautifully in the ageing cloister. Outside the church, in front of a buttercup-yellow Palais that's now the post office, stands the Beethoven Monument (1845), which was largely financed by Franz Liszt.
