Bridges
by sandysmith
Several bridges span the Rhine in Dusseldorf and crossing them provides great views back onto the city itself. The media port still has new buildings being constructed - yet more offices! - a bridge was also being built across - will save having to walk all the way around that for sure. Anyway we had a laugh watching the workmen having their lunch - mates were rowing across to them in a little dinghy and they were having a fun time egging them on and whistling tunes!
Nordpark
by sabsi
This is the park where the Aqua Zoo and the Japanese Gardens are located. The Japanese Gardens are rather small but quite cute, the Aqua Zoo is not really my cup of tea (too many stuffed animals and fishes). And the Nordpark is a nice place for a walk in the sun or a game of Boule.

Have A Drink By The River
by AnnS
On the banks of the river are cafes where you can enjoy a drink and a snack whilst watching the river traffic pass by. Some are even open during winter, and have heaters, so you can still enjoy some winter sun on your face.
