[[File:Koeln-Bonn-Airport11.JPG|thumb|upright=0.85|The [[Cologne Bonn Airport|international airport of Cologne and Bonn]] ([[International Air Transport Association airport code|IATA]]: CGN) is Germany's [[List of the busiest airports in Germany|seventh-largest]].]]
Named after [[Konrad Adenauer]], the first post-war Chancellor of West Germany, [[Cologne Bonn Airport]] is situated {{convert|15|km|mi|abbr=off}} north-east from the city centre of Bonn. With around 10.3&nbsp;million passengers passing through it in 2015, it is the [[List of the busiest airports in Germany|seventh-largest passenger airport in Germany]] and the third-largest in terms of cargo operations. By traffic units, which combines cargo and passengers, the airport is in fifth position in Germany.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.adv.aero/fileadmin/pdf/statistiken/2015/11.2015_ADV-Monatsstatistik.pdf |title=ADV Monthly Traffic Report |access-date=6 January 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304204205/http://www.adv.aero/fileadmin/pdf/statistiken/2015/11.2015_ADV-Monatsstatistik.pdf |archive-date=4 March 2016 }}</ref> As of March 2015, Cologne Bonn Airport had services to 115 passenger destinations in 35 countries.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.airliners.de/sommerflugplan-2015-sieben-ziele-flughafen-koeln-bonn/35295 |title=Sommerflugplan 2015: Sieben neue Ziele ab Flughafen Köln/Bonn |work=airliners.de |access-date=4 June 2015 |archive-date=31 May 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150531065013/http://www.airliners.de/sommerflugplan-2015-sieben-ziele-flughafen-koeln-bonn/35295 |url-status=live }}</ref> The airport is one of Germany's few 24-hour airports, and is a hub for [[Eurowings]] and cargo operators [[FedEx Express]] and [[UPS Airlines]].

The federal motorway (''Autobahn'') [[Bundesautobahn 59|A59]] connects the airport with the city. Long distance and regional trains to and from the airport stop at [[Cologne/Bonn Airport station]]. Another major airport within a one-hour drive by car is [[Düsseldorf Airport|Düsseldorf International Airport]].

=== Rail and bus system ===
[[File:2008-07-28 U-Bahnhof Hauptbahnhof (Bonn).jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|The underground [[Bonn Stadtbahn|Stadtbahn]] station at [[Bonn Hauptbahnhof]], Bonn's busiest railway station]]
Bonn's central railway station, [[Bonn Hauptbahnhof]] is the city's main public transportation hub. It lies just outside the old town and near the central university buildings. It is served by regional ([[Cologne S-Bahn|S-Bahn]] and [[Regionalbahn]]) and long-distance ([[Intercity (Deutsche Bahn)|IC]] and [[Intercity-Express|ICE]]) trains. Daily, more than 67,000 people travel via Bonn Hauptbahnhof. In late 2016, around 80 long distance and more than 165 regional trains departed to or from Bonn every day.<ref name="general041116">{{cite news |url=http://www.general-anzeiger-bonn.de/bonn/stadt-bonn/Sanierung-geht-in-die-heiße-Phase-article3397749.html |title=Sanierung geht in die heiße Phase |work=[[General-Anzeiger (Bonn)|General-Anzeiger]] |date=4 November 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161105205334/http://www.general-anzeiger-bonn.de/bonn/stadt-bonn/Sanierung-geht-in-die-hei%C3%9Fe-Phase-article3397749.html |archive-date=5 November 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="ga.de">{{cite web |url=https://ga.de/bonn/stadt-bonn/der-hauptbahnhof-bonn-wird-saniert_aid-43091427 |work=[[General-Anzeiger (Bonn)|General-Anzeiger]] |date=12 May 2017 |title=Der Hauptbahnhof Bonn wird saniert |trans-title=Bonn Central Station is being renovated |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201201160203/https://ga.de/bonn/stadt-bonn/der-hauptbahnhof-bonn-wird-saniert_aid-43091427 |archive-date=1 December 2020 |language=de |author=Bettina Köhl }}</ref><ref name="db041116">{{cite web |url=http://www.deutschebahn.com/presse/duesseldorf/de/aktuell/presseinformationen/12647934/161107_schoene_aussichten.html |title=Schöne Aussichten im Hauptbahnhof Bonn |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161106105046/http://www.deutschebahn.com/presse/duesseldorf/de/aktuell/presseinformationen/12647934/161107_schoene_aussichten.html |archive-date=6 November 2016 |website=Deutsche Bahn |date=4 November 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Another long-distance station, ([[Siegburg/Bonn station|Siegburg/Bonn]]), is located in the nearby town of [[Siegburg]] and serves as Bonn's station on the [[Köln–Frankfurt high-speed rail line|high-speed rail line between Cologne and Frankfurt]], offering faster connections to Southern Germany. It can be reached by Stadtbahn line 66 (approx. 25 minutes from central Bonn).

Bonn has a [[Stadtbahn]] light rail and a tram system. The [[Bonn Stadtbahn]] has 4 regular lines that connect the main north–south axis (centre to [[Bad Godesberg]]) and quarters east of the Rhine ([[Beuel]] and [[Oberkassel, Bonn|Oberkassel]]), as well as many nearby towns like [[Brühl (Rhineland)|Brühl]], [[Wesseling]], [[Sankt Augustin]], [[Siegburg]], [[Königswinter]], and [[Bad Honnef]]. All lines serve the Central Station and two lines continue to Cologne, where they connect to the [[Cologne Stadtbahn]]. The [[Trams in Bonn|Bonn tram]] system consists of two lines that connect closer quarters in the south, north and east of Bonn to the Central Station. While the Stadtbahn mostly has its own right-of-way, the tram often operates on general road lanes. A few sections of track are used by both systems. These urban rail lines are supplemented by a bus system of roughly 30 regular lines, especially since some parts of the city like [[Hardtberg]] and most of [[Bad Godesberg]] completely lack a Stadtbahn/Tram connection. Several lines offer night services, especially during the weekends. Bonn is part of the [[Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg]] (''Rhine-Sieg Transport Association'') which is the public transport association covering the area of the [[Cologne/Bonn Region]].

=== Road network ===
[[File:Region Bonn motorways.png|left|thumb|upright=0.6|Road network adjacent to Bonn]]
Four [[Autobahn]]s run through or are adjacent to Bonn: the [[Bundesautobahn 59|A59]] (right bank of the Rhine, connecting Bonn with [[Düsseldorf]] and [[Duisburg]]), the [[Bundesautobahn 555|A555]] (left bank of the [[Rhine]], connecting Bonn with Cologne), the [[Bundesautobahn 562|A562]] (connecting the right with the left bank of the Rhine south of Bonn), and the [[Bundesautobahn 565|A565]] (connecting the A59 and the A555 with the [[Bundesautobahn 61|A61]] to the southwest). Three Bundesstraßen, which have a general {{convert|100|km/h|abbr=off}} [[speed limit]] in contrast to the Autobahn, connect Bonn to its immediate surroundings (Bundesstraßen B9, B42 and B56).

With Bonn being divided into two parts by the [[Rhine]], three bridges are crucial for inner-city road traffic: the Konrad-Adenauer-Brücke (A562) in the South, the Friedrich-Ebert-Brücke (A565) in the North, and the Kennedybrücke (B56) in the centre. In addition, regular ferries operate between Bonn-Mehlem and [[Königswinter]], Bonn-[[Bad Godesberg]] and Königswinter-[[Niederdollendorf]], and Bonn-Graurheindorf and [[Niederkassel]]-Mondorf.

=== Port ===
Located in the northern sub-district of Graurheindorf, the [[Inland harbor|inland harbour]] of Bonn is used for container traffic as well as oversea transport. The annual turnover amounts to around {{cvt|500000|t}}. Regular passenger transport occurs to Cologne and Düsseldorf.
