City trip:Wuppertal - From underdog to high-flyer
A destination that is particularly close to our hearts: Wuppertal. Travel, preferably by suspension railway, through the rich cultural history of this still young city, which is something of an underdog among Germany's cultural metropolises.
A look into the new year ...Travel highlights 2025
The World University Games Rhine/Ruhr, the world's largest multi-sport event after the Olympic and Paralympic Games, will be an exciting sporting event taking place in Bochum, Duisburg, Essen, Mülheim and Hagen. Anniversaries such as the 150th birthday of the Hermann monument, together with blockbuster exhibitions and the opening of a new e-bike cave route, are special occasions to celebrate.

Our regionsWhere do you like it best?
One says of herself that she is hopelessly romantic. The other is sometimes a little brash, seduces with its scenic charms or brings the past back to life. Every region in NRW is unique. Sometimes they are built close to the water like the Bergisches Land, sometimes densely wooded like the Sauerland and Siegerland. The Lower Rhine is manageable and cosy, while in the Ruhr region the city boundaries are increasingly disappearing. And the Teutoburg Forest is home to more superlatives than you might think.
