A Rhine-side town directly south of Cologne, Wesseling has a walkable centre with cafés and restaurants alongside the river. The town is also home to three chemical plants and a petroleum refinery, giving it a significant role in the international petrochemical industry — an industrial character that sits alongside its riverside setting.
