Situated halfway between Düsseldorf and the Dutch border in the west of Germany, Mönchengladbach is best known for its football team and the famous Borussia-Park stadium where the team plays.

A gorgeous sculpture garden also makes the museum worth a stop.

If you prefer something a bit more historical, head to the Schloss Rheydt. This stunning moated palace, rebuilt during the Renaissance with the arches and facades on view today, dates to the year 1060. Various tours take place daily, displaying weapons, works of art, and exhibitions. Keep your eyes peeled for the fabulous peacocks wandering the grounds!
