My question is kind of obvious one, but I've searched a bit over the internet and i god no luck. Whitch would be the cheapest wat to get from Bonn to Cologne?
I know the buss is about 6.7, but, as the bahn site does't mention it, i have no ideea of how much a local train would cost. Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.
The same if using local trains because both cities are part of a public transport network (Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg, short VRS) which unites all carriers in the region including DB's local trains. In other words, the same tickets are valid for buses, trams, underground, S-Bahn and local trains.
Fast trains (ICE, IC or EC) cost more but there is no need to waste money on those, you'd save but a few minutes.
The website of this transport network is here: http://www.vrsinfo.de/englisch/the-vrs/vrs-about-us.html (in English).
You need a VRS price level 4 ticket for this trip. Single ticket is EUR 6,60. Covered are all means of local public transport as already listed in the previous answer. Fastest option among them are the regional trains (RE 5, MRB 26, RB 48). Than there are the 2 Stadtbahn (tram) lines #16 and #18.

Not aware of any bus service between both cities. Not enough capacity and too slow. Please note that the express bus from Bonn directly to Cologne/Bonn Airport (CGN) requires a surcharge.
Well I do not claim the authenticity of my conclusion but this was my experience. I found Bonn very very crowded, it was infact difficult to move along the roads. It may be that I was there one month before Christmas, but to me it did not look like crowded with tourists. I actually thought it was a very crowded city compared to all other cities that I have been to in Germany.
The Rheinlust is a popular hangout for a mixed clientele. It's become something of a celebrity spot since its owner Alex Jolig reached nationwide fame through the first reality soap "Big Brother". There are however more reasons to come here. The location right on the Rhine Promenade is excellent, and (if you manage to get a space) you can sit outside in the beer garden. The food is quite decent, the pricing okay. They also have pub grub and finger food for all those who just want something to go along with the Kölsch.
A enjoyable mixture of neighborhood restaurant, student pub, celebrity hangout
Bonn’s Munster Basilica (Cathedral)is one of the most fully-developed creations of the Rhenish transition style from the Romanesque to the Gothic period. Its building history reaches far back into the time of the early Christianity at the Rhine.
Around 400 A.C., a small church hall was erected here over the graves of city patrons Cassius and Florentius, and in the middle of the 11th century it was replaced by a basilica with a length of 70 metres and three naves. Reconstruction began in the middle of the 12th century. It was around that time when the Romanesque cloister was built.
The Munster Basilica with its five towers and the powerful crossing tower forms part of Bonn’s silhouette still today.
It experienced two king-crowning ceremonies: Friedrich der Schone (Friedrich the Beautiful) was crowned in 1314, and Karl IV. was crowned here in 1346. Next to many other works of art it is possible to see the Magdalena altar made of marbled wood, the little wooden figure of the holy Martin, the baptismal font from the 12th century and a sitting Madonna today.
This is a small but interesting museum of science and technology, with numerous hands-on exhibits.
In the photo, for instance, you can alter a picture of the Market Square in Bonn by pedaling faster or slower on a bicycle, to see what this familiar place would look like if it were moving at various percentages of the speed of light.
Open Tuesday through Sunday from 10.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.
I am currently working in Bonn. It is the former Capital of Germany and a rather small city given the just mentioned fact! It is very green, not in winter though ;), nice park areas along the river Rhine, that invite for walking, all kinds of sports etc.
