Located at the confluence of the rivers Rhine and Düssel, Düsseldorf is one of the largest cities in Germany. The old home of the Counts of Berg is the center of the Rhine-Ruhr region and a financial and industrial hub with industries like iron, steel, chemicals, glass, and textiles. Nevertheless, the city is more well-known in the cultural aspect because of its vibrant nightlife, its active fashion scene, and its fairs and carnival parades.
