Party outfit and all-weather-clothes
by elbe
If you plan to go out in Düseldorf you should bring trendier with you. Düsseldorf has a lot of posh locations and if you want to come in you have to be dressed in the right way. But fi you go out in the Oldtown you can of course wear normal clothes. The German weather is always good for surprises. It can be very cold and rainy in the summertime but it's also possible that you can wear t-shirt and shorts in April or May. So don't forget your umbrella and at least one warm pullover and one pair of long trousers (or buy it in Germany in case you need it).
Outdoor Drinking along the Rhine
by sabsi about Kasematten
Along Düsseldorf's waterfront there's the longest beergarden of the whole town. At the Rhineufer Promenade there's outdoor seating provided by the different breweries of the old town.
Normally it's more quiet here than in the old town and the views and the beers make it a great place to spend the evening.
I was here last week during the big heatwave and the place was packed with people here. Some tables stood in small swimming pools so that people could cool their feet. A very refreshing idea!
Careful with the chilli sauce...
by steventilly about Serenissima
Nice little place on a corner. Small and cozy inside, and with "strange" staff - a miserable looking girl and a guy who seems to speak no discernable languages! And yet it's a really nice place to eat! I took "Pasta with 3 types of mushrooms in a cream sauce". But I couldn't resist adding some of the chilli sauce that Sabs had got with her meal. In fact, I added most of it. The meal was delicious, the waiter was stunned and I payed a heavy price the next morning :-S
Aquazoo - Löbbeke Museum
by Sjalen
To please 8-year-old Alice, Sabsi and Thomas decided to bring us here and this despite Sabsi hating spiders and stuff! :))) At the end, all of us had had fun though, and us adults got some pictures of tropical fish amongst other things. The museum has not only fish though, but also turtles, alligators and butterflies, spiders and some desert animals, apart from our favourits the playful penguins. Not the biggest aquarium I have ever been to and I had no high expectations before visiting, but I really liked it here. There was space enough to see things and the only complaint is that most things to read about the animals was in German which is OK for me but perhaps not for you.
Media port
by sabsi
Media Port ("Medienhafen") is our little Docklands. A former port full of modern architecture, little bars and restaurants and business people. It's one of my favourite parts of town, there's no nice buildings than the Stadttor and the Gehry Buildings in Düsseldorf for me, there's no better place to sit at night admiring the lights and there's no better view than crossing Rheinkniebrücke at night driving towards the port. It's beautiful. If you like modern architecture that is!
