Neuss

One of Germany's oldest cities, founded as a Roman military camp on the Rhine opposite Düsseldorf, though little of that age shows above ground today. Its economy leans on logistics and a river harbour that benefits from sitting just across the water from a much larger neighbour, with commuting to Düsseldorf shaping much of daily life.
