10 Best Things To Do In Wuppertal, Germany

1. Zoo Wuppertal

Anyone visiting with their kids and family should visit this zoo. Here people can enjoy watching zoo animals and see the aquarium. There is also a park for relaxing. Many other activities can also be performed in this place. The zoo is very big and many animals are kept here including lions, tigers, and elephants. This zoo is clean and well maintained and there are restaurants here which serve delicious food. There are also lots of hilly walking areas, but those who are not able to walk much can hire carts or buggies. The entrance fees are reasonable making it an affordable attraction to visit with the whole family. They will love to see the 500 species of animals in this zoo.

2. Wuppertaler Schwebebahn Kaiserwagon

Schwebebahn is the western terminal of the Wuppertal Schwebebahn. It holds the station, a loop for the train to turn around, the warehouse with a second loop, and the three-storied main works for repairs. While in Wuppertal it is recommended to visit this wagon because this is the best means of transportation. This wagon helps visitors to see the whole city. Wuppertaler Schwebebahn Kaiserwagon is actually 100 years old, but it is so well maintained that it has not lost its popularity.

3. Historische Stadthalle

Stadhalle is in Wuppertal which is approximately 100 years old. This place is famous for its looks and sounds. The inner hall was designed with special consideration for acoustics, so this place is still very popular for concerts. Historische Stadthalle entertains proms, dancing tournaments (like the world cup in dancing), events, and fairs. During the time of events tourists are not allowed to see whole Stadthalle, so I recommend visiting this place when there is no such event.

This is a heritage tram museum situated in the German City of Wuppertal. It operates its own tram line south of Wuppertal on original rails with original cars.
