Alter Zoll

Alter Zoll is a historic riverside bastion on the Rhine, just east of Bonn’s city center. Once part of the 17th‑century fortifications, it now offers open terraces with sweeping views of the Siebengebirge hills and river traffic. Visitors come for relaxed strolls, photo-friendly panoramas, and seasonal beer garden seating in good weather. Informational plaques outline the site’s military past, and the nearby Hofgarten and University of Bonn make it easy to pair with a short city walk. Free to access and central, it’s a worthwhile stop for scenery and a sense of Bonn’s Rhine-facing heritage.
