North Rhine-Westphalia is located in the west of Germany and is the most populous state. Although Düsseldorf is the capital of NRW, Cologne is the most populous city. In the Ruhr area, the cities are close to each other, so all attractions can be reached quickly and comfortably by car and public transport. North Rhine-Westphalia is home to four UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which are also the most popular attractions in NRW (Aachen Cathedral, Cologne Cathedral, Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex in Essen, and Augustusburg and Falkenlust Palaces). Additionally, there are over 900 different museums. Noteworthy are the Archaeological Park and the LVR Roman Museum in Xanten, as well as the House of History, where you can find lots of information about World War II. Also on display here is Adenauer's official car. The Ruhr area is characterized by its industrial culture with the Gasometer in Oberhausen, the Mining Museum in Bochum, and the Thyssen Krupp Works in Essen. Düsseldorf is a city of many facets. Beyond the popular shopping street Königsallee, you'll find one of the largest Japanese communities. This is evident, for example, on the trendy Immermannstraße, where many Japanese restaurants and shops line up. During the day, you can explore the city through shopping and sightseeing, while in the evening, you can dive into the romantic old town. Germany's healing garden, the Teutoburg Forest, offers fresh sea breeze, minerals, and moor for healthy relaxation. Four Kneipp spa towns, one climatic health resort, six state-approved spa towns, and air health resorts make the region a popular excursion destination. In Bad Meinburg and Bad Driburg, the power of the moor is effective. Over many centuries, valuable plant parts have decomposed here, giving the sulfur moor its active ingredients. The city of Cologne offers numerous well-equipped apartments and holiday homes. Those who think Cologne has nothing to offer besides the Cathedral and carnival celebrations are greatly mistaken. Although these two points are the most popular attractions in the city on the Rhine, there are many more interesting excursion destinations. In the impressive city center, you can discover medieval charm alongside good shopping opportunities. Cologne Cathedral is the landmark of the metropolis in North Rhine-Westphalia and was once the tallest building in the world. A real insider tip is the Belgian Quarter, located in Nordstadt-Nord. Here, there's plenty of cool street art that even makes it into galleries. Not far from Cologne is the Eifel with its 5,300 km2 large low mountain range, which extends over the states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate to Luxembourg and Belgium. If you want to recharge and actively relax, the Teutoburg Forest is an ideal travel destination. With a combination of romantic, historical sites, a rich cultural heritage, and Westphalian hospitality, the Teutoburg Forest is very suitable for gourmets, adventurers, culture lovers, and those seeking relaxation. The Bergisches Land stretches between the Ruhr area, Düsseldorf, and Cologne and is a varied low mountain landscape with numerous valley dams and lakes as well as picturesque villages with slate and half-timbered houses. From your holiday home in NRW, you can quickly reach the most popular attractions, impressive castles, and a diverse nature.
Whether it's Benrath Palace, Corvey Castle, the Roman-Germanic Museum in Cologne, or the UNESCO World Heritage Site Cologne Cathedral, you can undertake numerous excursions in North Rhine-Westphalia. You can reach the excursion destinations from your quiet holiday home or apartment in no time. Some of the accommodations even come with a sauna.
A holiday home or an apartment is excellent for a family-friendly vacation in North Rhine-Westphalia. The Extertal Holiday Park, located between the Weser Uplands and the Teutoburg Forest, houses numerous cozy homes and accommodations equipped with modern amenities, such as Wi-Fi. Many holiday homes and apartments also welcome dogs. The Extertal Holiday Park is excellent for cycling, hiking, and relaxing. A visit to the museum railway, a boat trip on the Weser, or a glider flight over the enchanting nature are great experiences for the whole family. In the Sauerland, you can enjoy a lakeside vacation with your loved ones. But spectacular sporting events, luge world championships, interesting attractions, and medieval festivals also characterize the Sauerland. The Eifel offers its guests a wide selection of affordable apartments. The scenically attractive low mountain range is excellent for an eventful vacation with children. In the north, the high moor landscapes of the High Fens and lush green meadows as well as dark forests shape the landscape; in the south, the maars are evidence of volcanic activity. The Eifel National Park consists of forest, wilderness, water, and bizarre rocks. Whether on foot or on your own legs, the national park offers exciting insights into the history of the Eifel. A top attraction in North Rhine-Westphalia for the whole family is Movie Park in Bottrop. Germany's largest amusement and film park houses over 40 spectacular attractions, breathtaking roller coasters, and interesting shows. For small children, there is the largest NICKLAND in Europe, suitable for children from 90 cm in height. No matter where in North Rhine-Westphalia you book a holiday home or an apartment with good facilities, children are always welcome in all accommodations.
When you rent a house or an apartment in North Rhine-Westphalia for a vacation, you have a choice of many excellent restaurants. Meat dishes and ham are an integral part of North Rhine-Westphalian cuisine. Pfefferpotthast, for example, is a stew made from onions and beef and is an absolute specialty. Also very popular is Münsterländer Töttchen, made from cooked veal and a delicious mustard-onion sauce. Another classic is the Rhineland Sauerbraten. A fresh roll with onion mett and pumpernickel with Westphalian ham are essential for a snack in North Rhine-Westphalia. If you are a lover of hearty stews, you should try Blindhuhn. This Westphalian dish consists of pears, beans, apples, carrots, bacon, and potatoes. Although "chicken" is part of the name, no chicken is actually used in this classic. Although fish plays a minor role in North Rhine-Westphalia, you can still enjoy herring with fried potatoes and bacon beans, fried redfish fillet with potato salad and remoulade in many restaurants. Do you enjoy cooking? Then you can whip up your own delicacies at the stove of your affordable apartment or in your privately-owned holiday home. You can get fresh ingredients from the region at weekly markets or in numerous farm shops.
Whether you are interested in music, art, football, or history, North Rhine-Westphalia has attractions to suit every taste. In the university town of Münster, you can expect a historic old town, where one of Germany's most beautiful Christmas markets takes place each year. Altena Castle, located on a spur of the Klusenberg, is the cultural center of the Märkisches Sauerland. The mighty fortress from the 12th century makes the hearts of castle and knight romance enthusiasts beat faster. In Castrop-Rauxel, you can discover remnants of the industrial past, Art Nouveau houses, water castles, monuments, and extraordinary architecture from the 1970s. Whether it's theater, cabaret, or exhibitions, the Rhein-Erft-Kreis is a paradise for culture lovers. Away from the most populous cities in NRW, you can also find peace and relaxation. Look forward to 50 manor houses, castles, and palaces waiting to be discovered by you. Many of the park facilities belong to the "Garden Art Road." The spectrum of museums ranges from modern to ancient times. The Gasometer Oberhausen is the landmark of the city and, at 117 meters high, the tallest exhibition hall in Europe. As you can see, a private apartment or an affordable holiday home is an excellent accommodation for a city vacation in North Rhine-Westphalia.
You can travel to your holiday home or apartment in NRW in various ways. Major airports are located in Dortmund, Cologne, and Düsseldorf. You can also reach all areas quickly and comfortably by train or car. If you arrive by plane, you can also rent a car at the airport.
