Live and study for five weeks in "Beethoven's City" and one of the most picturesque regions of Germany, as you experience the cultural, historic, and artistic treasures that enrich its vibrant society. Bonn, the former capital of Germany and Ludwig van Beethoven's birthplace, is located on the romantic Rhine, near the legendary Seven Mountains of the Grimm Brothers fairy tales. Over the centuries, many artists and writers have made Bonn their home, and today it offers its visitors a wide variety of historic sights, the highlights of European art on its "Museum Mile", and the international flair and nightlife worthy of a city with a 2000 year old history.

The group departs for Bonn on June 24, and returns to Atlanta on July 30, 2009.
