Bad Honnef’s privileged position at the foothills of the Siebengebirgeemountains creates an exclusive ambiance that has earned it the sobriquet ‘The Nice of the Rhineland’.

The city lies across the slopes of the Drachenfels mountain and looks out across the eclectic panoramas of the region’s volcanic topography. This stronghold of fresh air would be the perfect study destination for lovers of the outdoors. Bad Honnef also has culture, business and industry to offer, many federal institutions are placed here, and the town is a prestigious venue for international conferences and congresses. If the thought of an idyllically situated political center appeals to you, then perhaps studying in Bad Honnef is the right fit for you.

Students studying in Bad Honnef can admire the magnificent Gründerzeit villas and pruned urban parks that characterize the ‘Rhenish Nice’. Although Bad Honnef has the highest purchasing power of the towns in North Rhine-Westphalia, and its percentage of millionaires is also one of the highest, it is more than an idyllic spa town for leisure-seekers and high-rollers. Thanks to its proximity to the former German capital of Bonn, Bad Honnef is of national political importance – one of the city’s proudest legacies is that of Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany.
