Enjoy all the comforts of this popular resort destination while remaining just a short distance from Cologne, one of Germany's premiere cities, when you develop and perfect your language skills with German courses in Bergisch Gladbach. Though Bergisch Gladbach was officially founded in 1856, the town retains a much more historic character dating back to its original settlement in the Middle Ages. The city's town hall, whose nickname translates to "Monkey Rock," is a nationally-known tourist attraction. Two of Germany's top luxury hotels are also located in town – they were converted from local castles. As charming as Bergisch Gladbach is, however, the real appeal of living and learning in this town is your close proximity to Cologne. Students at a German school in Bergisch Gladbach who travel into this exciting urban center have over 30 museums and hundreds of art galleries at their fingertips. Cologne also has a vibrant festival scene. From the massively popular pre-Lent Carnival to the prestigious Lit.Cologne literary celebration, Cologne has a cultural event for everyone. Even their signature regional beer, Kölsch, has an extremely devoted following. Experience all the perks of this cultural wondercity while also enjoying the cozier lifestyle of a small town when you begin or continue your German education in Bergisch Gladbach.
