The bus station where our coaches stop is located on Hindenburgstrasse, not far from the main train station. This is actually the center of the city, so you'll reach the nearest and one of the city's most important landmarks, St. Vitus Basilica, on foot in twenty minutes.
And heading north you will reach two parks, full of sculptures and installations, designed by some of Europe's greatest artists.
If you're a Borussia Moenchengladbach fan, but don't want to devote your trip solely to the match, consider visiting Skulpturpark Abteiberg or Bunter Garten, two gardens. In the latter you will also hit the botanical garden and arboretum.
In our opinion, the Abteiberg Museum, adjacent to the aforementioned St. Vitus Basilica, is also worth a visit. There, works by Andy Warhol and Gerghard Richter await you.
In addition, Monchengladbach can be a base for exploring nearby larger cities such as Cologne and Düsseldorf. Accommodations in Monchengladbach should be somewhat lower than in the state capital. In addition, Monchengladbach, through its proximity to the Belgian and Dutch borders, can be a stop on a trip specifically to the Benelux countries. Although, in our opinion, the number of attractions in the city makes Monchengladbach as a city able to fill a tourist's calendar virtually for a whole week.
