The City of Dusseldorf.
Dusseldorf is Germany at its finest. The city has a thriving economy, a relatively low unemployment rate, excellent infrastructure and friendly people. It is an international hub for business and economic relations and a major centre of the Rhine Ruhr Area, Western Europe’s most populated Metropolitan Area after Greater London.
Draw a circle around this location, as numerous other cities dotted all over Europe also do, and it's easy to see how central this city is. Many measurements exist; distance a truck can drive in a day, destinations within an hours flight and population within fifty or one hundred kilometres.
The financial sturdiness and prudence in Düsseldorf is the work of basically one man, who has had a solid mission for the last few years. Saying goodbye to Keynesian methods, the strategy followed is more international, shares have been sold, debt has been radically reduced and investment in youth and sport increased.

My Düsseldorf
A personal opinion about a special place and once my home. Best thing about living in Dusseldorf: Once a village on the banks of the tiny Düssel and the majestic Rhine, the state capital still has a friendly, easy going, clean and...
New to Dusseldorf
As my ICE train hurls toward its destination I watch the Porsches and BMWs on the Autobahn fade into the distance. The slight aroma of fresh brewed coffee combined with the warm morning sun and atmosphere of a new day...
