Wuppertal visitors enjoy the best views on the city from a height of 12 m above the river Wupper. A city tour with the world-famous suspension railway, be it as a regular passenger or in the nostalgic Emperor's waggon, is highly popular among tourists.

The numerous staircases in the city include architectural highlights like the listed open staircases VogelsauerTreppe and Dicke-Ibach-Treppe. The famous Pina Bausch dance theatre is one of the many cultural attractions the city has to offer.
