Schloss Augustusburg
The Augustusburg Palace has been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The palace is one of the key works of Balthasar Neuman, and contains one of the finest Rococo interiors in the world, the highlight being the main staircase. Entry to Augustusburg is only by guided tours that are on the hour. Also in the grounds is the magnificent hunting Lodge of Falkenlust, roughly 2km from Augustusburg. Tickets are available for each palace independently. Tickets to Falkenlust include an audio guide.
The Max Ernst museum is a short walk from both the Augustusburg Palace and Brühl station. It contains six rooms of paintings, sculptures and characteristic mixed-media collages covering the surrealist artist's extensive career. The staff are both helpful and knowledgeable and provide guided tours. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions. You can buy combined tickets for the Palace and museum from the main desk.
Second largest amusement park in Germany with rides and entertainment shows.
By U-Bahn
Take U-Bahn line 18 from Bonn Hauptbahnhof or Köln Hauptbahnhof/Dom stations. However, make sure that the train is going as far as Brühl, as not all journeys on the line do.
The center of Brühl is entirely walkable. To reach other parts of town, take one of many buses or use the line 18 tram. The central station for buses and trams is Brühl Mitte.
