Wuppertal itself is not a classic beauty. It is a city with rough edges and has much more to offer than the suspended railroad 'Schwebebahn' and a long industrial history. Shopping opportunities, promenades and artists' quarters convey an authenticity that is not not expected at first glance. The charm of the city is reflected in the canyons of houses, in the old parts of the city and the view from the Schwebebahn, which runs over the Wupper River through the entire city, leaving impressive impressions of the industrial culture, nature and the modern lifestyle.
The entertainment options are numerous. In addition to several cinemas, theaters, an opera house and the zoo, Wuppertal has very lively and popular pubs and clubs scene. The old town center is in Wuppertal Elberfeld, the Luisenviertel, is the home to many nice pubs and restaurants captivated with its typical Bergisch old town style. The nightlife is rounded off by regular student parties, which are known beyond the faculty borders, such as the legendary Wiwi Caipi Party or the parties of the student councils at Grifflenberg or Haspel.
The city of Wuppertal is very centrally located, between the Ruhr area, Düsseldorf and Cologne. The good public transportation connections between these cities makes its reachability quick, easy and free of charge thanks to the student ticket.
