Moving to Ratingen next month.

Over the past five years, I’ve traveled extensively and lived in a few different places. I spent three years in the US (in LA and Atlanta), then some time in Canada, and more recently moved to Poland, as my girlfriend is Polish. Now, I’ll be relocating to Germany for work in Ratingen. I haven’t heard much about this city before and don’t have high expectations, but I’d love to hear suggestions or advice from anyone living in or around Ratingen, especially for someone new to the area.
