Living in Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf is the seventh-largest city in Germany.
Düsseldorf was recently rated sixth in terms of overall quality of life in the world. This is thanks to its excellent infrastructure and a flexible and dynamic job market. It is also due to the city's reasonable cost of living, and a vibrant cultural scene. The overall cost of living is noticeably lower than in Munich, Frankfurt, or Berlin.
The city is compact and the traffic flows easily, so commuting never takes too long. The tempo of life is lower than in most large capitals, and you will not find overwhelming crowds. At the same time, the city has a lot to offer for work.
The international community in Düsseldorf is varied and inclusive. As a result, locals and visitors can taste the most exotic world cuisines, from Georgian to Ghanaian. Düsseldorf is also home to the third-largest Japanese community in Europe, centred mainly around the Japanese quarter on Oststrasse.
