    Beautiful view of Drachenburg Castle and the Rhine Valley with Bonn as a panorama. If the visibility is good, you can see the skyline of Cologne.

      Very beautiful castle, with a neatly landscaped garden. For 7 euros per person you are already inside and you can quietly explore the castle for a few hours. At the top of the towers you have a great view over the Rhine and you can see for miles.
      In the castle itself you can view the impressive rooms and take nice photos!
      OPENING HOURS
      From the end of March to the beginning of November daily from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm
