Bonn
Bonn, the former West German capital on the Rhine, is the birthplace of Beethoven and hosts the UN Campus, home to many United Nations organisations, as well as federal ministries. Its links with international Geneva make it a natural destination for diplomats and UN staff, who appreciate a discreet private chauffeur and a direct door-to-door journey.

The route from Geneva Airport to Bonn
The chauffeur crosses the Swiss Plateau to Basel and enters Germany, then follows the A5 motorway north through the Upper Rhine plain past Freiburg and Karlsruhe to the Frankfurt area. The A3 then leads north-west across the Taunus and the Westerwald, and the last stretch descends into the Rhine valley to Bonn, opposite the Siebengebirge hills. An alternative via the A61 and the left bank of the Rhine is used when traffic requires it.
Arriving in Bonn
The chauffeur drives you to your hotel, ministry or office, whether in the old town near the Beethoven House, in the former government quarter by the Rhine, or in Bad Godesberg with its embassies and villas. The UN Campus and the World Conference Center Bonn are reached directly. AirportsTransfers.ch also serves Cologne Bonn Airport, Königswinter and the Siebengebirge, and can continue to Cologne.
