Leverkusen

　　Leverkusen is situated in the southern part of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The multinational conglomerate Bayer AG has made it a globally renowned industrial city, but industry is not its only claim to fame. It is also a highly worthwhile leisure destination, boasting serene natural landscapes as well as historic landmarks that are truly captivating.

　　Leverkusen features the beautiful mountain scenery of the Bergisches Land region and a vibrant metropolitan lifestyle, yet pastoral tranquility can be enjoyed on the outskirts of the city. The city has developed its own unique character, with elements of this individuality visible and accessible throughout. Leverkusen Square is an iconic landmark of the city and serves as the second-largest venue for concerts, theater performances, and other events. The Roman Villa is a palatial estate hailed by the Leverkusen Historical Society as the “Home of the City’s History,” where one can explore the development of the city’s past. In addition, the beautiful hunting lodge—Morsbroich Palace—now houses the Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art, which boasts a collection of over 400 paintings and sculptures, as well as approximately 5,000 graphic artworks.
