Amazing Ruhr
Draw a circle around the Ruhr region, and it's easy to notice how central this metropolitan area is. Many measurements are used; distance a truck can travel in a day, destinations within one hour's flight and population within either fifty or one hundred kilometres.
Long the powerhouse of Germany, densely populated, a melting pot of nationalities and cultures, the Metropole Ruhr has been helped by financial prudence and the RUHR.2010 European Cultural Capital celebrations.
Amazing Ruhr contains hundreds of pages full of information to help make life easier during a stay. The first few restaurants, authorities needed to register or acquire a driver's licence, public transport, the region's delights, shops, hotels, doctors, sources, international schools; they can all be found here. Enjoy your stay, wherever your location.
