Waves of European immigrants have flocked to the city since the second half of the 20th century, creating an interesting hub characterized by a great concentration of dainty shops, music and antique stores along with restaurants and over 120 pubs.

Mount Tallac is perfect for the seasoned hiker. With a length of 9.5 miles, the trail takes you to Lake Tahoe's tallest peak. The vistas are overwhelmingly breathtaking, with ridges, meadows, and alpine lakes.

Schloss Benrath (Benrath Palace) was built as a pleasure and hunting palace for the Elector Carl Theodor. Today, the ensemble in its artistic unity of buildings, interior and gardens, 60 hectares in all, is considered one of Europe’s rare complete works of art of the late baroque period. The main palace building (corps de logis), with its furniture, porcelain, paintings, etc., gives an impression of court life in the second half of the 18th century. The eastern wing houses the “Museum für Europäische Gartenkunst” (Museum of European Garden Art) and the western wing the “Museum für Naturkunde” (Museum of Natural Sciences).
