Dusseldorf

Sophisticated and arty, city residents enjoy a high standard of living

This cosmopolitan city in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Northwest Germany has a reputation for its respectable and reserved culture. It is a major international center when it comes to finance and business, but beyond the skyscrapers and modern art galleries are the buzzing bars of the late-medieval Old Town and the Avant-Garde MedienHafen harbor.

The city’s progressive approach to art and architecture makes it a popular place to live among young creatives. It is also home to vibrant Japanese and Turkish communities.
