An exciting urban mix, interconnected by rural beauty

The list of major cities in Rhine Ruhr is long; Bochum, Bonn, Cologne (Köln), Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Leverkusen, Mülheim, Oberhausen, Recklinghausen. Many are located on the banks of the rivers Ruhr and Rhine.
Located in the heart of the western state of North Rhine Westphalia, the region reaches roughly from Bonn in the south to Wesel in the north and Düsseldorf in the west to Hamm in the east. Cologne is famous for its centuries old cathedral and Düsseldorf for being the State capital. Bonn had and excursion of some forty years as the seat of the national government and is now a popular seat for NGOs.
The importance of the rivers as a transport route becomes clear when gazing across the water and culminates in Europe’s largest inland harbour in Duisburg. Approximately ten million people live in this area of Germany.
