Question

Which city is better to study German for a year Dusseldorf or Cologne?

Answer 1

Cologne - housing in Munich and Düsseldorf is pretty expensive, plus Cologne is bigger and more interesting in terms of Nightlife etc.

Answer 2

Dusseldorf

Answer 3

Cologne - Ilived there for three months it's fantastic

Answer 4

You're darn right there's a rivalry! Go with Cologne!



But seriously speaking, I don't think it'll matter too much which city you study German in. I'd go with Cologne though. They have a cool cathedral.

Answer 5

I would say Cologne. It's the bigger city, and close to the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France. They know how to live there : beer, wine, food, carnival.



Just watch out that you don't pick up too much of the local dialect!
