Your flight to Düsseldorf takes you to Germany’s charmingly affluent capital of chic, dating back to 1288. Stroll down the Königsallee, or Kö, Düsseldorf’s elegant boutique-lined boulevard or dive into the thriving nightlife of the city’s pedestrianised Old Town.
Explore some of the best modern art at Düsseldorf’s renowned galleries, K20 and K21, where Picasso, Dalí, Beuys and Richter await. Düsseldorf’s MedienHafen is a riverside media complex featuring spectacular Gehry architecture.
For a quiet day out take the tram to Schloss Benrath, Düsseldorf’s baroque castle, and relax in its majestic park. Mingle with the locals in the large Hofgarten park or stroll along the Rhine promenade – the perfect place to see and be seen.
Locals in Düsseldorf swear by their local beer, the Altbier, a dark, smooth ale variety, and you’ll find it flowing freely in Düsseldorf’s Old Town. Don’t be afraid to try Senfrostbraten, a spicy roast generously flavoured with Düsseldorf’s very own and pretty hot Loewensenf mustard. |
