Quick answer

The Bundeskunsthalle has a wheelchair ramp at the main entrance and accessible lifts to every floor, with an accessible toilet on the lower level and free wheelchair loans at the cloakroom. The standard ticket is 14 € with a 7 € reduced rate, and all visitors up to age 18 enter free every day. Disabled parking sits at the Helmut-Kohl-Allee taxi stand near the main entrance.

Getting there

The Bundeskunsthalle sits on the Museumsmeile between the Heussallee/Museumsmeile and the Bundeskanzlerplatz SWB Stadtbahn stops. From Bonn Hauptbahnhof, the U16, U63, or U66 Stadtbahn takes about six minutes to Heussallee/Museumsmeile. The lift from the platform reaches the street level, and the walk to the main entrance is level along Helmut-Kohl-Allee.

By car, the Helmut-Kohl-Allee taxi stand has dedicated disabled parking near the main entrance, with additional spaces on Emil-Nolde-Straße at the Museumsplatz.

Entrance, lifts, and the exhibition floors

The main entrance is fitted with a wheelchair ramp, so the gallery floor is reached without stairs from the street. Inside, wheelchair-accessible lifts reach every floor of the building, so every exhibition is on a lift-served level. Free wheelchair loans are at the cloakroom; ask at the desk on the way in. Accessible toilets are in the central toilet area on the lower ground floor.

Tickets and discounts

The standard single ticket is 14 €, the reduced single ticket is 7 €, and the group ticket is 11,20 € per person for groups of 10 or more. All visitors up to and including 18 years enter free every day; the operator also runs occasional free-admission days that are listed on the museum's website.

Disabled visitors usually qualify for the reduced 7 € rate on presentation of a German disability pass at the counter. The operator's public pages do not list an explicit companion-ticket policy; bring the disability pass with the B mark on the back and ask at the counter on the day. The reduced rate is the safest claim from the public source; the companion seat is at staff discretion.

Café and rest stops

Refreshments are sold at the café on the lower ground floor, in the same lift-served block as the accessible toilets. Sit-down rest points are spaced through the galleries on each lift-served floor. Ask staff at the main desk for the route up to the roof garden if it is open during your visit.
