You'll find plenty of places to visit near Remscheid: Neanderthal Museum (in Mettmann), Siegen (Sieg Carre & Siegerlandmuseum) and Landschaftspark (in Duisburg). There's lots more to do: indulge your thirst for a good beer at Krombacher Brauerei, explore the historical opulence of Schloss Burg, see the interesting displays at Deutsches Rontgen-Museum, and look for gifts at Haribo Fabrikverkauf.
