Düsseldorf Tourist Trap Tips by sabsi

Don't bring your car into the city centre. Parking is nightmare in most areas of Düsseldorf and to use the car parks in the city centre will be very expensive! So leave your car on the outskirts or in a residential street without machines and signs (you'll be lucky to find one!) and use public transportation from here.

I paid € 3,10 for a small Diet Coke in a bar called Balthasar (Old town) once. It's a stylish place and the food is nice but it's a bit overpriced!

Oh well .... if you are into stag nights and Palma de Mallorca's Schinkenstrasse, All-year-round-Karneval and drinking Sangria from a bucket - then this is the place for you! I myself use Bolkerstrasse at night to get from A to B (not very quickly because of all the crowds) or to go into some places I like here (like Schlüssel or an Irish pub). But other from that I am happy to escape the Mallorca madness!

At Least Do This: Have a beer in Schlüssel, Dutch Chips ("Pommes Spezial") at the chipper and quickly head to another street!
Alternative: If you like crowds - Ratinger Strasse is crowded as well but the crowd is a bit nicer than the one in Bolkerstrasse.

If you don't like crowds - don't go into the old town at night but maybe into the port or something or then sit at the Rhine. It's quiet and beautiful there!
