Just minutes on the road from Velbert, the city of Wuppertal has always been one of Germany’s manufacturing powerhouses.
The Wupper River Valley became a hive of industry in the 1700s and 1800s and this gave the city some of big attractions.
The best of these is the Wuppertal Suspension Railway, which looks like no other mass transit system in the world.
You can’t come without one ride on the world’s oldest elevated electric railway, which feels both futuristic and from a bygone age thanks to its hulking steel frame and Art Nouveau stations.
