Germany is a cosmopolitan country with more than 82 million inhabitants. Wuppertal, located in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), the economically most important German state with an outstanding educational and cultural landscape, is one of the largest university cities in Germany with a population of around 350,000. It is an interesting mixture of open-minded metropolis and cosy village with many leisure activities. Thanks to the excellent rail and transport network, you can be in Cologne, Bonn, Dortmund, Düsseldorf and many other cities within an hour from Wuppertal.
One of the biggest attractions in Wuppertal is the suspension railway, which transports passengers from the city centre to the surrounding districts at a height of 12 metres above the River Wupper. The carriages are suspended from a track with wheels integrated into the roof, giving the feeling of floating in the air.
The former industrial city can look back on an eventful history. The water power of the Wupper was the city's defining element in every respect. It is the basis for Wuppertal's unique industrial history. One of Wuppertal's most famous sons is the German philosopher Friedrich Engels, whose life and work you can learn more about in the Engels House. The Von der Heydt Art Museum is worth a visit for its impressive architecture alone, as is the Historische Stadthalle Wuppertal, which is acoustically one of the best concert halls in Europe. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the city on a long walk through the city centre and the many gardens, parks and forests. Wuppertal is one of the greenest cities in Germany. Five Wuppertal parks are part of the European Garden Network EGHN - more than in any other European city.
All in all, Wuppertal is a great place to relax and unwind. Anyone who enjoys hiking and nature, but also wants to experience city life, will find ideal conditions for studying here.
