Things to do
Cologne Cathedral has a towering (and deserved) reputation
There are 2 big—really big—reasons to visit Cologne, and the Cathedral's twin towers don't disappoint. Cologne's ‘dom' is the geographical and spiritual heart of the city, and it's still a major attraction in this riverfront city. Cologne boasts a festive atmosphere all year thanks to the old town's many beer halls but you'll find it in full bloom during its spring Carnival. Well-heeled Dusseldorf comes to life over Christmas when the city's world-famous Christmas market turns it into a winter wonderland, and family fun can be had year round at the Phantasialand theme park.
Activities
Row, row, row your boat all the way down the River Rhine
Running its way though the center of the region, it's hard to get away from the watery ribbon of the Rhine in North Rhine-Westphalia. Popular for riverboat cruises, the Rhine leaves you spoilt for choice when it comes to cityscapes with both Dusseldorf and Cologne sitting on its banks. It's also a great choice for cyclists looking to stretch their legs without worrying about too many hills. North Rhine-Westphalia's flat-as-a-pancake landscape makes exploring the region on 2 wheels as easy as pie, while bike stations at local train stations and easy-to-follow bike paths make it even easier.
Weather
A hard rain is (probably) gonna fall, so pack an umbrella
North Rhine-Westphalia's year is divided into four distinct seasons, with August often being the warmest month of the year. In summer, between June and August, temperatures hover around the low- to mid-70s. If you're looking for North Rhine-Westphalia vacation rentals to explore the Christmas markets, you'll find temperatures in the low 30s from November through February. Although you'd need a powerful telescope (or Google Maps) to see the beach, the region has an oceanic climate. That means you can expect rainfall all year round, particularly in winter and spring, so you'll want to remember to pack an umbrella.
Natural features
Embrace the life of the streets with a city hopping tour
Located in western Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia shares a border with the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
