Much of the action occurs in the Old Town, otherwise known as the Longest Bar in the World due to the amount of cafes and bars serving a dark beer called “altbier”. The center was faithfully reconstructed according to the city’s foundation walls after the Second World War and offers a historical insight to the city.

Museums range in exhibitions from history at the Stadtmuseum, to fine art at Museum Kunst Palast and even to a museum dedicated to mustard. If shopping prevails over culture then head to the Königsallee, a picturesque strip of high-fashion shops set alongside a tree-lined canal.

With Düsseldorf International Airport located only 12-minutes from the city center, Düsseldorf is a great German vacation destination. Booking.com makes your holiday even easier with over 200 hotels, apartments, and other accommodations to choose from.

Travel tips every first time Düsseldorf visitor needs to know

First time in tech-town? Get to know the city with our selection of travel tips for first-time visitors to Düsseldorf

Hitting up Düsseldorf for the first time? We’ve got some tips for you. Over the last century or so, Düsseldorf has developed from a collection of disparate villages into one of the most exciting cities in Germany, a hub of innovation and culture that attracts visitors, entrepreneurs and adventurers in equal measure. The ‘traditional yet modern’ cliche is alive and well here, with a community vibe that juxtaposes that glittering skyline and business-friendly mentality of the city. Our collection of travel tips for first-time visitors to Düsseldorf will help you navigate the city and make the most of this marvellous place, with its impressive range of restaurants and exciting attractions . 

RECOMMENDED: The 19 best things to do in Düsseldorf

An email you’ll actually love

1.  The world revolves around the tower

Getting your bearings in Düsseldorf can be hard. With neither a “true” downtown nor an easily discernible pattern to the street layout, the easiest way to determine where you’re at is to look for the round television tower, the Rheinturm, located amid the Medienhafen and directly on the river. It’s also a great place to grab a drink and see the skyline.

2.  Learn how to order

Visitors are often shocked at the lack of friendliness by customer service personnel. The first place many visitors notice this is in cafes or restaurants, where servers only come to you when called—and called in the right way. Snapping your fingers, whistling or calling out garcon is the epitome of rudeness. A raised hand and wave in their direction will suffice. In breweries, you can also order another by simply making eye contact with the server and giving the thumbs-up sign, signifying the number one.

3.  Dress to impress

One of Germany’s wealthiest cities, Düsseldorf is also one of the country’s most fashion-conscious destinations. Although torn denim and sneakers are more acceptable attire today than they were just a few years ago, there is still an unwritten dress code in many establishments. If you’re headed to the Oper am Rhein or embarking on a shopping spree on the Kö , make sure to dress the part or risk being turned away at the door. You can leave the penguin tails at home—just don’t show up in flip-flops and tank tops.

4.  A cold stare is a form of greeting

Don’t take it personally if no one says hello as you pass by. Or when you walk into a store. Or even in a restaurant when someone comes to take your order. Germans are a formal bunch and an expressionless nod is often used as a polite form of greeting—and one you should reciprocate.

5.  This city can be sleepy

For a city of more than one million inhabitants and with several universities, Düsseldorf can be eerily quiet late at night. While pubs and clubs in the Altstadt—especially around Bolker Strasse or Ratinger Strasse—are open every day, in other neighbourhoods finding something doing after 10pm on a weekday can feel near-impossible. One area to look is Bilk, the student district, or Pemplefort, filled with bars and restaurants which get lively on warm summer days.

6.  Don’t miss the (free) art

Home to the Arts Academy that counts Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter and Andreas Gursky as alumni and where some of the biggest artists of the 20th century have taught, Düsseldorf has a reputation as a leading arts centre to uphold. Grab an Art:card from the Tourist Office and get entry for a year to most of the city’s museums. Or check out the K20 and K21 Museums after 6pm on the first Wednesday evening of every month for free entry. Just be sure to note: most museums are closed Mondays.

7.  …It’s not just in museums!

Lovers of modern and contemporary art will feel drawn to the more than 100 galleries dotted around the city, especially in the Stadtmitte neighbourhood. Openings occur nearly every weekend and since 2017, the city plays host to its own annual art fair.

8.  Japanese culture is everywhere

Home to Europe’s third-largest Japanese community, Düsseldorf celebrates the contributions of the country’s immigrants with a city-wide party and awesome fireworks display over the Rhine on one of the last weekends in May. If you’re here at another time, check out the area around Schadowstrasse for some of the best Japanese food in Germany.

9.  Keep cash on hand

No matter what you’re doing or where you’re going, it’s always a good idea to keep cash on you. Although Düsseldorf is home to loads of start-ups and new media companies, banking is still behind the times. Few taxis, pubs and dining establishments take credit or bank cards and even fewer places are set up for mobile pay. The pandemic has changed this somewhat, but better to be safe than sorry.

10.  Make a shopping bee-line for the Kö-Bogen

Königsallee is one of Germany’s most expensive shopping streets, with luxury goods stores like Gucci and Chanel drawing shoppers from around the world. Divided by a canal and lined with chestnut trees, the kilometre-long boulevard is one of the city’s prettiest streets. Bordering the Altstadt, it runs from the city’s main park, the Hofgarten , and is filled with fantastic architecture, including the Kö-Bogen shopping mall, designed by Daniel Liebeskind.

11.  There’s media in Media Harbor

Düsseldorf is not only Germany’s fashion capital, it’s also home to hundreds of advertising agencies, publishing houses and several television studios. It is a place concerned with appearances and nowhere is that more apparent than at the Medienhafen , the city’s upscale riverfront office district with buildings designed by Frank Gehry that are well worth a look.

12.  Round up to tip

Tipping in Germany is a polite show of appreciation, but don’t go overboard. Most servers and taxi drivers are happy if you round up to the nearest Euro or two and will look at you funny if you approach even ten percent of the bill.

13.  Altbier is no joke

It bears repeating that not all beer is created equally. The top-fermented lager native to the region may be low in price, but not in alcohol content. Drink slowly. Drink wisely. And while drinking, keep in mind that public toilets are a rarity.

14.  Watch traffic while on trams

Düsseldorf has an extensive public transportation network comprised of U-Bahn (underground subways), S-Bahn (suburban rail), buses and trams. The trams, denoted by their numbers 701-709, run on tracks in the middle of busy city streets, so while boarding and exiting, it’s vital to stay aware of traffic. Pedestrian-tram accidents are increasingly common so pay attention, especially with earbuds in.

15.  Always stamp your ticket

Public transportation runs on the honour system, with authorities often boarding mid-trip to ensure everyone has a valid ticket. You can buy your ticket from a machine onboard (not the driver) and be sure to time-stamp it—or risk a fine.

16.  This is a cycling city

With lots of parks and marked bike lanes, Düsseldorf is a great city to see by bike. Bike-sharing is simple and easy using the FordPass mobile app/DB Call a Bike program. But remember that bikes are subject to the same rules of the road as vehicle traffic: stop at red lights, don’t turn right on red and make sure your lights are on after dusk.

17.  if it’s late, hail a taxi

With no official closing times, club nights can bleed into the wee hours of the morning. Planning a night out? Figure in cab fare for the ride home, as public transport runs sporadically after midnight and before dawn.

18.  Be aware of Karneval closings

Germany’s Rhineland region celebrates the start of Lent every year by throwing a five-day party before the fasting begins. Beginning at 11:11 on Weiberfastnacht (Ladies Night) on the Thursday before Ash Wednesday (usually in mid-February to mid-March), the streets are flush with drunken revellers. Most bars are open, but many shops are closed for the party, which carries on through the following Tuesday. One highlight is the Rosenmontag parade on Monday, filled with drum corps, dancers and floats poking fun at politics. Though it may not be fun for everyone, it’s definitely worth a visit at least once.

19.  Beware of swift currents

The Rhine may be the city’s centrepiece, but dipping more than a toe into the busy shipping channel isn’t a wise idea. Grab a beer and hang out riverside (not too close to the edge) or take a boat cruise down to nearby Cologne if the water’s calling.

20.  Sundays are for strolling

German law has that most shops remain closed on Sundays, and the centuries-old rule has created a culture of Sunday walkers. One of the best places to bust out your walking shoes is the Rhine Promenade. If green parks are more your style, the botanical gardens surrounding Benrath Castle have plenty of paths to get lost in your thoughts.

Time to explore

The best things to do in Düsseldorf

This medieval city on the banks of the Rhine recently celebrated its 730th birthday, but Düsseldorf isn’t resting on its historic laurels. With a slew of cutting-edge architecture and a booming arts scene both above and below ground, the capital of the of the North-Rhine Westphalia state is fast becoming one of Germany’s most lively metropolises.

Dusseldorf travel blog: When to come?

Traveling to Dusseldorf in every season of the year has its own interesting. If you are not like the hustle and bustle, you should avoid July or November because this is the time when most of the major festivals in Dusseldorf take place. This time, there are 2 big festivals, namely The Biggest Funfair on the Rhine (Größte Kirmes am Rhein) taking place in July and Dusseldorf Carnival in November. In addition, Christmas is also a big holiday here. People will gather on the street, drink beer, dance…so the street is always noisy and bustling.

Dusseldorf travel guide: How to get to Dusseldorf?

Dusseldorf blog: Getting around Dusseldorf

Some types of tickets to getting around Dusseldorf by public transport:

• Single ticket: €2.7/way
• Day pass – TagesTicket: €7. Tickets are only valid until 3 am the next day, not 24 hours. Tickets purchased in groups of 2-5 people will be more profitable than buying individually. (If I remember correctly, the price is €13 for a group of up to 5 people).

You can buy these two types of tickets directly on the bus or at the orange vending ticket machines or on the tram.

The Dusseldorf Card is free for bus, tram and train travel within the city as well as free for some museums and 20% discount for other activities.

List of museums that are free or discounted. This section is about the museum only. You can see a list of other activities at the Dusseldorf Card homepage .

Where to buy Dusseldorf Card? You can buy Dusseldorf Card online on your phone or at the Tourist information office at stations, the old town and some other places.

Dusseldorf travel blog: Where to stay?

During my trip, I stayed at a studio apartment , about a 15-minute walk from the central station. The apartment is fully equipped and quite new and modern. The house is only a few steps from the tram station and from here to get to the central area, the old town is only 10-15 minutes. In addition, this place uses a bluetooth check-in system, so you don’t have to meet the owner and look for the key box like other places. This is probably the first place I see self-check-in in such a modern way. Rental price is €39/night.

Dusseldorf travel blog: Where to go, what to do?

Old town Dusseldorf (Altstadt) is known as the “longest bar in the world” with countless famous restaurants and bars. Although it only covering an area of ​​more than half a square kilometer, this is one of the most famous Dusseldorf tourist attraction that you should not miss.

Konigsallee

Dusseldorf’s most famous street (boulevard) with long rows of trees and countless luxury fashion stores gathered around. The Christmas atmosphere in this street is really vibrant and bustling. Here, there are traditional Christmas shops, ice skating rinks and many other interesting activities.

The Rheinturm (Rhine Tower)

The tallest tower in the city with the best panoramic view here.

Address: Stromstraße 20, 40221 Düsseldorf, Germany Hours: 12PM–12AM Height: 234 m Opened: December 1, 1981

Rheinuferpromenade (Rhine embankment promenade)

The famous the two-tier walkways next to the Rhine River with lots of bars and restaurants and connects to the old town of the city.

Schloss Benrath (Benrath Palace)

Benrath Palace was built in the Rococo style in the 1700s. This lovely pink palace is now known as the European museum of garden art. The grounds of Benrath Palace are 612,000 m2 wide with flower gardens that are always in full bloom. After walking around, you will be resting by the cool fountain.

The most visited palace in Dusseldorf. However, on my trip because I didn’t have too much time, this place was about 10km from the center, so I skipped it. Instead, I visited the Goethe-Museum (Address: Jacobistraße 2, 40211 Düsseldorf, Germany / Hours: 11AM–5PM; Monday: Closed;Saturday: 1–5PM) because this place is quite close to other Dusseldorf’s tourist attractions.

Address: Benrather Schloßallee 100-108, 40597 Düsseldorf, Germany Hours: Sunday, Saturday: 11AM–6PM Opened: 1770 Architectural style: Rococo

The complex with unique architecture concentrates many luxury fashion stores.

Address: Königsallee 2, 40212 Düsseldorf, Germany Hours: Open 24 hours

St. John’s Church (Johanneskirche): The largest Protestant church in Dusseldorf. Note: you should search Google for its German name to find the correct location of this church.

Church of An St. Lambertus

Church of St. Mariae Empfaengnis

The Rhine River

This is a very unique beauty of the city of Dusseldorf. This is a great place for a walk. Lots of eateries and cafes are located next to the river. You will easily find a suitable sitting position to enjoy the view. In addition, the river is also one of the extremely important waterway transport networks of the city and surrounding areas. In the early morning or late afternoon, people will flock to both sides of the river to admire the scenery and enjoy the fresh air here.

Wilhelm Marx House

It was one of the first high-rise office towers in Germany. This is one of the first skyscrapers in Europe, named after the mayor of Dusseldorf in the early twentieth century.

Burgplatz Square

Burgplatz Square is a large, bustling square in the center of Dusseldorf. This is a place that attracts many tourists because of its fresh and pleasant air.

Dusseldorf travel blog: Suggested Dusseldorf travel itinerary

You should take the tram to the stations near Kö-Bogen or Goethe-Museum. The first place to visit should be the Goethe-Museum, which is the most suitable starting point. Dusseldorf self-sufficient travel itinerary 1 day can go as follows:

Goethe-Museum – Church of St. Mariae Empfaengnis – Church of Johannes – Kö bogen- Konigsallee – Rheinuferpromenade – Church of An St. Lambertus – Old Quarter.

Most of these places are very close to each other, so walking is pretty easy. Especially if you starting from Johannes Church, these locations must be said to be quite close together.

Rheinuferpromenade is a road along the river so you don’t have to go to the right place like Google suggests, just go straight from Konigsallee to the riverside. Also, because I didn’t have too much time, I just watched the Rhine Tower from afar, not visit it.

Besides, right next to the Johannes church is a very large shopping area. You can come here to visit and eat. In the basements of this central area, there are many restaurants serving Japanese to Thai, Italian, German… cuisines.

While exploring, I also accidentally discovered a pretty famous Japanese restaurant called Naniwa . I counted more than 20 people queuing outside waiting for their turn. This restaurant is located quite close to St. Mariae Empfaengnis Church. Honestly, this is the first time that I have come to a city where I see so much Japanese people. Going to other European countries is mainly seeing Chinese people.

Dusseldorf blog: What to eat?

Traditional dish Rheinischer Sauerbraten . The beef is marinated for a few days with vinegar and spices, then baked. Served with gravy and raisins.

Also you should try Himmel und Erde (Heaven and Earth) (pudding with stewed apples mixed with mashed potatoes). Feel free to enjoy traditional German dishes such as German beer, curry sausage, potato salad, pork leg served with pickled cabbage, meatballs…

Dusseldorf is famous for its distinctive beer taste. You will easily find attractive cups of beer in any bar. The tradition of making Original Schlüssel German beer here goes back more than 170 years.

Dusseldorf blog: Traveling costs

• Hotel: €33/person/night
• Meals: €30/day
• Dusseldorf Card: €10

The total cost is about €70-80/day. I find the cost of eating here is a bit more expensive than Cologne and Berlin. A meal here averages around €11-12. I ate pho (beef noodle soup) at a Vietnamese restaurant, the price was €12.5 and the ramen of the Japanese restaurant in the shopping center near the Johannes church was also priced at the same price.

Dusseldorf travel blog: Some tips before you go

• I was quite surprised because I did not think that Dusseldorf tourism would be so developed and notable. I saw most of the streets in the central area and the old town were really crowded. It’s like having to jostle step by step. Dusseldorf is much more crowded compared to Cologne although Cologne is more famous and familiar with tourists.
• As a city of fashion and art, there are many interesting museums in Dusseldorf. If you have free time, check it out.
• For those who are fashionistas, Dusseldorf is indeed an ideal destination. There are countless high-end fashion stores that come with extremely good quality of service.
• If you are going from Dusseldorf to Colgne try searching for tickets on the Omio site. Travel time from Dusseldorf to Cologne is only about 20 minutes and usually there is a national DB train company running quite often. Although the travel time is quite short, the fare is usually in the range of €13-17. Instead of taking this train, I recommend you to look for the Flixtrain. I remember that there were only a few trains a day, but the fare was only €3.

Happy traveling!

I took the train to Düsseldorf – here’s my guide to the city

Next stop in our series marking the Interrail pass’s 50th birthday is a city in the heartland of industrial Germany, home to avant-garde art, electronic music and high fashion

D üsseldorf’s residents call their home “the 10-minute city”, because it rarely takes longer than that to get wherever you want to go. That’s a big claim for somewhere that boasts no fewer than 50 stadtteile (mini districts), but it’s backed up by a transit system of U-Bahns and S-Bahns that gets you around easily. And therein lies Düsseldorf’s great appeal: a small city of just over 600,000 inhabitants, with the infrastructure, the internationality and the sheer cultural heft of a much larger place. Add in the fact that more than 57% of its area is green space , and you can understand why a recent study ranked it the world’s sixth best city to live .

There’s plenty of wealth at play here, much of it being splashed along the tree-lined, canal-adjacent Königsallee, one of Germany’s most famous shopping streets. As the postwar capital of North Rhine-Westphalia (established in 1946), the most populous state of the nation, Düsseldorf became a hub for global business and finance, and the well-dressed glitterati who frequent the kilometre-long stretch of designer stores on “the Kö” have earned it a reputation for snobbishness.

That’s only a sliver of the story, however. Visit the Altstadt (old town) of an evening and you’ll find a lively-to-boisterous centre that cares more about good times than fine taste, and where the 300-plus pubs, breweries, restaurants and clubs are so closely aligned they like to call it “the longest bar in the world”. Established neighbourhoods such as Bilk and Flingern – and emerging ones such as Derendorf and Pempelfort – house diverse populations, blending daytime chic with an energetic nightlife. There’s a teeming counterculture courtesy of the city’s art school, and the largest Japanese community in Germany can be found in Niederkassel and along the Immermannstrasse (AKA Little Tokyo) where the ramen can’t be beaten.

The imposing Rhine has long been a site of heavy shipping; today it’s a place for a walk or a drink, for skateboarding and eating ice-cream, courtesy of the promenade that runs along its east bank. At its southern end is Medienhafen, where the old harbour has been transformed into a vision of ultra-modernity. Since the arrival of Frank Gehry’s three bendy buildings at the end of the last millennium, a sort of architectural Epcot has emerged around them, where the interplay of the many new structures is as mesmerising as their individual designs, all overlooked by the needle-like Rhine Tower, with its panoramic viewing platform and rotating restaurant.

Across the river lies Oberkassel, the somewhat exclusive district where sheep still graze on the pretty waterside meadows; they keep the view neat and tidy for the owners of the pricey art-nouveau buildings that look out across them. There’s plenty of parkland to choose from wherever you find yourself in the city, however, from the expansive Hofgarten, home to the iconic curves of the Schauspielhaus performing arts centre, to the romantic ponds in front of the former state parliament building, the Ständehaus. There are also community gardens and allotments in the south of the city, where you’ll find cafes, beer gardens and even a petting zoo.

Where to eat

There’s a huge variety of cuisines to be enjoyed, from authentic Italian at San Leo in Altstadt, to Nashville hot chicken served with biodynamic wine at vibey Hitchcoq in Pempelfort. There’s also a strong trend for crossover and fusion food, be it Asian-Mediterranean at Bar Olio , French-Rhenish at Fleher Hof , or Waya Kitchen , where the “Asian-North American-Latin” soul food includes teriyaki chicken sliders and Korean schnapps. You’ll find excellent Japanese food all over the city, not only on the Little Tokyo strip, and Nagaya , in Stadtmitte, has a Michelin star.

The daily market at Carlsplatz is a great place to pick up a coffee and pastry or a bite for lunch; and on Lorettostrasse in Unterbilk the independent boutique stores are punctuated with some of the best casual restaurants in the city. Chef Murat Avcioglu at Noa cooks with vegetables he’s grown in his own garden, while at Rob’s Kitchen you can enjoy gastronomic cooking at bistro prices.

It’s hard to leave Düsseldorf without having seen – or tasted – the altbier of which the Rhineland is justifiably proud. There are five brewpubs creating this “top-fermented” beer, most in Altstadt, where the customers accompany their drinking with traditional dishes such as sausages, potato salad and enormous knuckles of pork. For historic surroundings, try the cavernous bar-rooms of Uerige – or for a more modern take, microbrewery Brauerei Kürzer is the true baby of the bunch, at only 12 years old.

The Kunstakademie has had a profound influence on the city’s arts and its outlook. In the 19th century, this fine arts school was renowned for its landscape painters; in the 20th, for its photography, and for the teaching of sculptor and activist Joseph Beuys. Today it continues to foment a heady mix of both mainstream and underground culture, and the sheer quantity of contemporary art collections and galleries mean that Düsseldorf punches far above its weight on the international stage. At Grabbeplatz you can walk straight out of the three-storey Kunstsammlung K20 , with its Kirchners, Klees and Klimts, and into the contemporary exhibition space of the Kunsthalle , while at K21 (the Kunstsammlung’s second location), you can climb around the inside of the former parliament building’s glass roof on a vast spider’s web, as part of a longstanding installation by Tomás Saraceno.

The music scene has long been just as edgy and original: Düsseldorf was the birthplace of influential bands such as Kraftwerk, Neu!, La Düsseldorf, Rheingold and DAF, and the bars and clubs remain a pioneering space for all kinds of electronica. There’s usually plenty going on in Altstadt, particularly at weekends, and one of the best places to start is the laid-back Salon des Amateurs , which serves as the Kunsthalle’s cafe by day, and at night becomes a hip hangout for the arty crowd who spill out on to the steps outside. New venture Lucy’s Sky holds club nights in a speakeasy-style venue on Flinger Strasse; you have to ring a doorbell hidden between two shopfronts to gain entry to its colourful underground world.

Neighbourhood

Of all Düsseldorf’s neighbourhoods, Flingern makes for a particularly fascinating day out. It actually comprises two separate stadtteile , each with a distinct feel, from the quiet urban village of Flingern-Nord to the punkish attitude of Flingern-Süd. In the 80s the latter’s Kiefernstrasse was a notorious squat, home to anarchist gangs. Today its houses are the most vibrant in the city, their facades covered with colourful artworks chosen by the residents, who have built a lively alternative community here. An iconic punk and hardcore club, AK47 , lives on in dingy glory, while just around the corner the hot new restaurant opening 5P Style serves artisanal burgers with truffle fries.

A 15-minute walk north brings you to Birkenstrasse and Ackerstrasse, the two roads at the epicentre of Flingern’s gentrified northern borough of leafy squares and independent cafes. Artists’ ateliers and galleries punctuate the run of vintage boutiques and upcycling shops; it’s the kind of place you can pick up a couture hat on one side of the street and a tattoo on the other. Among the many pleasant eateries Bulle Bistro , with its sister wine bar and cousin bakery stands out, while the fabulous cakes at Cafe Hüftgold deserve their claim to be “world famous in Flingern”.

Where to stay

There hasn’t always been a lot of love for Düsseldorf’s postwar architecture, built at speed to restore a city that was largely destroyed by bombing in the second world war. But Ruby Luna (doubles from £85 B&B), opened in May 2021, has found plenty to celebrate in the 1950s style of its Altstadt location. The open lounge and restaurant are a sleek homage to mid-century space-age design, and the rooftop bar offers a truly great view over the city (if you don’t already have one from your window). There’s a tip of the hat, too, to the city’s love of rock music, with a Marshall amp in every room and a guitar ready for use at reception.

25 Best Things to Do in Düsseldorf (Germany)

As an international financial giant, Düsseldorf has a well-to-do reputation underpinned by its chic shopping street Königsallee and the revitalised harbour where the big names in architecture have contributed buildings.

The city has an earthier side too, and residents and tourists let their hair down and quaff the local Altbier in the historic Altstadt which has hundreds of bars.

In July there’s an explosion of fun and levity at the Kirmes fair, a public celebration that is only exceeded by Oktoberfest for scale.

And there’s so much culture you may not know where to begin: The city has historic residences and parks built by Imperial Electors, art museums for all eras, cultural centres and medieval churches.

Let’s explore the best things to do in Düsseldorf :

1. Rheinuferpromenade

When the sun is out it might feel like the whole city has decided to come for a wander at this promenade on the right bank of the Rhine.

The walkway is positioned so that it gets sunshine all day long, and bends from the Parliament down to the harbour.

The first promenade appeared at the turn of the 20th century, but it’s only since 1993,when road traffic was redirected underground, that it’s been possible to amble next to the Rhine in peace.

In summer the scene is almost Mediterranean, in the way the facades glow in the sun at sunset, and long rows of restaurant and cafe terraces are packed with people chatting.

At Burgplatz there’s a stairway where people park themselves to read books in the sun, and jetties on the water for cruises on the Rhine.

• 2. Altstadt

The old town is by no means large, but if you’re planning a night out in Düsseldorf there are more nightspots than you could ever hope to visit.

Packed into just a few streets are 300 brewpubs, bars and nightclubs, to the point where the area is referred to as the “Längste Theke der Welt”, “The longest bar in the world”. Although there’s no way to prove it, each bar is claimed to connect with the one next door.

The brewpubs in the quarter serve traditional Altbier, which we’ll talk about in more detail later.

Also take some time to explore with a clear head during the day, checking out the adorable gabled houses and the many cultural amenities in the quarter, like the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, the Filmmuseum and the NRW-Forum.

3. Königsallee

If Düsseldorf is a byword for luxury and high-end lifestyles it’s because of Königsallee, a plush shopping boulevard either side of a canal lined with plane trees.

The name is usually contracted to “Kö” by locals, and the street runs for a kilometre north to south, with every premium brand under the sun on the way.

For most people it’s a chance to do some window shopping, soak up the affluent ambience and take some photos of the canal and its elegant bridges.

But if there’s something very special you need, you’re sure to find it at one of the many flagship stores.

Chanel, Cartier, Tiffany & Co, Burberry, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Hugo Boss and Prada are just a selection.

4. Medienhafen

At the southern end of the Rheinuferpromenade are Düsseldorf’s docks, which were built at the end of the 19th century and played a part in the city’s post-war boom.

By the 1970s local industry was on the wane, especially after the closure of the local Mannesmann pipe factory.

And since the 1990s the harbour has been transformed into a contemporary office district for fashion brands and media firms, but also with restaurants, bars and a cinema.

Where possible the 100-year-old warehouses, dock walls and wharfs have been maintained.

But they’re accompanied by projects by David Chipperfield, Joe Coenen, Claude Vasconi, and most memorably Frank Gehry, whose Neuer Zollhof complex was completed in 1999 and dominates the waterfront.

5. Rhine Tower

The tallest building in Düsseldorf is on the east side of the Medienhafen, climbing to 240 metres.

This communications tower was unveiled in 1981 and has an observation deck and revolving restaurant at 170 metres.

Unsurprisingly, the panoramas are glorious, and merit the €9 entry fee at peak times for adults.

When the skies are clear you can easily make out Cologne’s towers far to the south.

If you spend a certain amount at the revolving restaurant you’ll also get a discount on your ticket.

Entrance also drops to €5 if you come before 11:00 or after 22:00. The tower is open until 23:00 in summer, and the view of Düsseldorf at sunset is as romantic as it gets.

Since the tower opened in 1981 its concrete shaft has been decorated with a light sculpture by Horst H. Baumann in the shape of the world’s largest digital clock.

6. Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen

The North Rhine-Westphalia art collection is divided across two main venues, the K20 and K21. We’ll start with the “K20 am Grabbeplatz”, which is in a mesmerising building designed by Arne Jacobsen in the mid-1980s and clad with polished black granite.

The galleries are for 20th century art and encompass all of its key movements: Expressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, New Objectivity, Dada, Surrealism, Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism.

The volume of great art is unreal.

We’re talking about Paul Klee, Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Ernst-Ludwig Kirchner, Picasso, Braque, Fernand Léger, Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol and many more, so be prepared to spend at least half a day.

7. K21 Ständehaus

Under the same umbrella, the K21 Ständehaus is a separate museum space introduced in 2002.The venue is the Neo-Renaissance parliament building, which is magnificent from the outside but even more thrilling inside as its roof has been replaced with a glass canopy and the interior reconfigured into a “piazza”. This floods the interior with natural light, and you can work your way through five floors of art dating from the 1970s to today.

In the collection are installations, prints, video art and photography by artists like Candida Höfer, Marcel Broodthaers, Paul McCarthy, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, William Kentridge and Nam June Paik.

The museum’s exhibitions are constantly changing, and updated with daring installations like Tomás Saraceno’s interactive “in orbit”, in which you’re encouraged to climb among air-filled spheres on a net suspended 25-metres above the “piazza”.

• 8. Schloss Benrath

Benrath, just southeast of Düsseldorf is the scene of a lovely Rococo palace from the mid-18th century, surrounded by gardens.

It was all created for Elector Palatine Charles Theodor and his wife Elisabeth Auguste of Sulzbach as a summer residence.

The palace was carefully devised to correspond to its gardens, so the Elector’s private room opened onto the English gardens, the Electress’ apartments faced a French formal garden, and the kitchens were served by a potager and herb gardens.

On a visit you can tour the opulent Corps de Logis, designed by the Frenchman Nicolas de Pigage, and will have to wear special slippers to conserve the marble floors.

In the side wings there’s a Natural History Museum and a Museum to European Garden Art, while that sumptuous park is a setting for concerts in summer.

9. Hofgarten

Germany’s first public park was landscaped in 1769 on the back of devastation caused during the Seven Years’ War from 1756 to 1763. The oldest portion is on the east side, between Schloss Jägerhof and the graceful “Jröner Jong” fountain.

Working under Charles Theodore again, Nicolas de Pigage was responsible for this section and the long grand avenue linking the two monuments.

At the start of the 19th century the park was expanded along the site of walls that had been erected for the Napoleonic Wars, and the park took on its current form.

The design would be a prototype for public parks across Germany.

There’s a multitude of art installations and historic monuments to seek out, like the Ratinger Tor, one of the old city gates rebuilt as a Neoclassical temple.

10. Burgplatz

Named for the castle that stood beside the Rhine until the end of the 19th century, Burgplatz is somewhere to meet-up with friends and go for a coffee or beer next to the Rhine.

The last vestige of the castle is the Schlossturm.

The first three storeys of this tower are from the 1200s, the fourth dates to the 1500s while the fifth was added in 1845. Inside there’s a museum that documents Düsseldorf’s period as an port, the ecology of the Rhine and the history of inland shipping in Germany.

11. Stadterhebungsmonument

Tucked into a corner of Burgplatz is an ensemble of bronze sculptures cast in 1988 to celebrate 700 years since Düsseldorf was granted city privileges.

The man behind the monument was Düsseldorf-based artist Bert Gerresheim, and each of the figures he rendered communicates something about the city’s foundation, and with it Düsseldorf’s rivalry with Cologne.

On the left is a scene from the Battle of Worringen, one of the largest battles staged in Europe in the middle ages, fought between Archbishop Sigfried II of Cologne and Duke John I of Brabant.

Siegfried’s devastating defeat would result in Düsseldorf gaining city status, as depicted in the scene of the document being signed on the right.

12. Museum Kunstpalast

In prime position in front of the Rhine, the Kunstpalast is the main attraction at the Ehrenhof cultural complex.

The permanent collection is a complete chronology of German and European Art, beginning in the Gothic period and ending in the 20th century.

The great roll call of artists includes Lucas Cranach the Elder, Rubens, Caspar David Friedrich, Andreas Achenbach, August Macke and Franz Marc.

This is combined with vast displays of applied arts, and one of the largest collections of glass in Europe.

The museum also abounds with graphical art, in a collection assembled with pieces from across Europe, Japan and the Near East.

And beyond all this the museum has made a name for its world-class short-term shows for Caravaggio, Warhol, Miró and Dalí in recent years.

13. Marktplatz

Maybe the most photo-friendly location in the Altstadt is the square in front of the Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall).The name of this trapezoidal plaza comes from the market that traded here from 1482 up to the turn of the century when it moved to Carlsplatz.

The “Erwachen” (Awakening), which is the opening ceremony for Düsseldorf raucous carnival, happens in front of the town hall on 11 November.

The square is edged on all sides by rows of buildings that are listed monuments, all facing one of Germany’s most feted equestrian statues.

The ceremonious monument shows Elector Johann Wilhelm on horseback and was created in 1711 by the Flemish sculptor Gabriël Grupello.

14. Kaiserswerth

Catch the U-Bahn up the Rhine to one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Düsseldorf.

The streets of Kaiserswerth are flanked by fine Baroque mansions from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Maybe the most photogenic spot is right on the water’s edge at the ruins of the Kaiserpfalz, the imperial castle enlarged in the 11th century by Friedrich Barbarossa and almost obliterated by a bombardment during the War of the Spanish Succession at the beginning of the 18th century.

You can view the walls along the lime-edged Burgweg avenue, and also pass some time treading Kaiserswerth’s cobblestone streets, taking breaks at biergartens and cute cafes.

15. St. Suitbertus

Keeping you in Kaiserswerth for a while longer is the neighbourhood’s medieval church, built from volcanic tuff stone and fusing Romanesque and Gothic architecture.

Found on Stiftsplatz, the church’s 12th-century triple-aisled nave dates to the 12th century, while the Gothic choir is from around a century later.

This is where you can find the remains of the 8th-centruy St Suitbertus, contained in a richly ornamented reliquary.

The relics were brought here in 1264 and placed in a chest carved from oak and then plated with gilded copper.

There are reliefs depicting the apostles on the sides, and on the cover are scenes from the life of Jesus.

16. Wildpark im Grafenberger Wald

East of the centre of Düsseldorf there’s an animal park in a 200-year-old beech forest.

The Wildpark concentrates on species native to Germany, and the habitats are all open and linked by a three-kilometre walking trail.

You’re encouraged to take apples and grains with you to feed the animals.

The park is free to enter and open all year round.

There are about 100 animals in total, among which are several species of deer (roe, red and fallow), as well as mouflon, wild boars, pheasants and wildcats.

The park also has an apiary where a beekeeper will give live demonstrations.

17. St. Lambertus

One of the defining features of Düsseldorf’s skyline is the twisting tower of the 14th-century Sankt Lambertus church.

The tower’s peculiar appearance isn’t intentional; it was constructed in 1815 following a fire, and before long the timbers warped.

There are lots of bawdy stories attached to the tower; one says that the tower turned away in shame when a woman came to the altar pretending to be a virgin, and will twist back again when a true virgin is married at the church.

This hasn’t happened yet.

There’s a great deal of art awaiting you inside, like the 15th-century frescoes of the Crucifixion and Virgin with Child, and the Italian High Renaissance tomb of the nobleman Herzog Wilhelms von Jülich-Kleve-Berg.

18. Classic Remise Düsseldorf

At a converted steam locomotive roundhouse there’s a jaw-dropping fleet of classic cars you can see free of charge.

That’s because the Classic Remise isn’t so much a museum as a facility where beautiful vehicles from the 20th century are restored, looked after and sold.

You can watch expert restorers at work, giving a new lease of life to vintage Mercedes-Benzes, Porches, BMWs, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins and Ferraris.

The old industrial architecture of the roundhouse sets the cars off perfectly, and many are stored in twin-level glass cubes to regular the environmental conditions.

19. Carlstadt

Just south of the Altstadt, Carlstadt is a small city borough founded on a grid system by Elector Charles Theodore in the 18th century.

Most of the houses still have their Baroque and Neoclassical facades, in a posh neighbourhood of galleries, boutiques and antiques shops.

After searching for a special little something on Bilker Straße or Hohe Straße you can take a break at a chic cafe or restaurant to put the icing on an indulgent afternoon.

You’ll be following in some exalted footsteps, as the 19th-century’s musical power couple Robert and Clara Schumann lived at Bilker Straße for a time in the 1850s.

20. Markt auf dem Carlsplatz

In Casrlstadt you can also pop into the oldest market in Düsseldorf.

Apart from a hiatus in the Second World War, the market has been trading here since 1910 after moving from Marktplatz.

The vendors now have permanent stands sheltered by a canopy.

And befitting the neighbourhood, what used to be a market for everyday groceries is today more of a gourmet culinary destination.

If you stop by at lunch there’s a cosmopolitan choice of food to-go, like bratwurst, kebabs, soup, potato pancakes and crêpes.

And you can still call in for some supplies at the stalls selling fruit, vegetables, meat, cheese, seafood and specialty foods at the delicatessen counters.

21. NRW Forum

If you’re into contemporary art and pop culture, one of your priorities should be to find out what’s on at this exhibition centre in the Ehrenhof complex.

The NRW Forum puts on shows for contemporary art, design, fashion, digital culture and photography.

To give you a taste there have been exhibitions for Vivienne Westwood, Martin Kippenberger, Anton Corbijn, Andy Warhol, Alexander McQueen, Bettina Rheims, Michel Comte over the last 15 years or so.

At the time of writing in 2017 there was a photography exhibition, “Women on Street” by Garry Winogrand (posthumous) and Peter Lindbergh.

22. Neanderthal Museum

You can use the S-Bahn to travel east to the Neander Valley (Neandertal). If you recognise the name it’s because this was where the first Neanderthal Man was discovered in 1856. The museum was established on the site in 1996 and together with its indoor galleries there’s an archaeological park where you can see the very spot where the first specimen came to light.

In the museum you’ll come face-to-face with models of Neanderthals based on real fossils and will be informed about their behaviour and the mass migration that brought them from grasslands in the east to western Europe.

There’s also an exhibition about the different branches in the evolution of man, and a collection of casts illustrating the development of early hominids.

The museum has a lot of information to get through, but the English audioguide breaks it all down.

23. Altbier

One of the rituals that you have to take part in is to hit the Altstadt for a glass of Altbier.

The beverage has a dark reddish tone and gets is called “old” as it uses top-fermenting yeast (the old way to make ale). This beer is fermented at a moderate temperature, but then matures at quite a cool one, which gives it a crispness and taste closer to lager than a traditional ale.

If you’re interested in sampling the nuanced differences in varieties, there are five microbreweries in the Altstadt, while the city’s tourism board organises guided tours.

And if you really want to do things the Düsseldorf way, pair your Altbier with roasted pork knuckles and a side of French fries.

24. Rhine Boat Tour

In summertime step aboard a boat and see Düsseldorf’s skyline from the Rhine.

There are two cruise companies, Weisse Flotte and KD, offering hour-long trips, free refreshments and a running commentary over a loudspeaker in both German and English.

One area best viewed from the water is the Medienhafen, cruises departing from the Rheinuferpromenade head straight for this neighbourhood.

The boats won’t actually stop in the quarter, but will plot a course around the canals for a closer look at the modern architecture and Gehry’s Neuer Zollhof.

You’ll cruise under the Theodor Heuss Bridge, the first cable-stayed bridge in Germany when it was completed in 1957.

Between the second and third weekend of July, the “Largest Fair on the Rhine” takes place on the left bank of the river.

The fair is the largest celebration in Germany behind Oktoberfest and Stutgart’s Canstatter Volksfest, and pulls in more than four million revellers each year.

Kirmes has deep roots as a religious festival for the patron saint Apollinaris of Ravenna and the Sanctification of the Sankt Lambertus Basilica, both going back to the 15th century.

The theme is less religion-oriented today, and people descend on the fairground for old-time amusements, roller coasters, carousels an epic Ferris wheel and all sorts of white-knuckle rides.

The Monday is “Pink Monday”, a special day for the city’s LGBT community, while on the Tuesday there’s a marksman’s competition organised by the 700-year-old St.

Sebastianus shooting club.
