Things to Do  

Old Town - Altstadt

Old Town - Altstadt, Düsseldorf

 56 Reviews  This is a square in the heart of Dusseldorf. Years ago there have been a castle there, that’s why is has that name too - Castle Keep. Now it is a very pleasant place for walking and chilling, the river Rhein passes nearby. The Maritime Museum is situated there. Last time there was a musician with a... 

Königsallee

Königsallee, Düsseldorf

 25 Reviews  Along Königsallee there is an elaborate sculpture/fountain dedicated to Triton - the God of the Sea. It looks a little too large for this smallish stretch of water but it was getting a lot of attention from tourists and ducks!! The link is pretty good - one of those 360 panormas of the fountain and... 

Rheinturm

Rheinturm, Düsseldorf

 31 Reviews  This is the telecommunication tower of Dusseldorf. It is 240m tall and 20 years old. I know that you can climb on the top but unfortunately I didn’t do it. They say the view is great. Also the tower is famous with its biggest digital clock in the world. 

Rhine - Rhein

Rhine - Rhein, Düsseldorf

 35 Reviews  After the war, in 1946, Düsseldorf was granted the status as state capital of the newly created region of North Rhine-Westphalia. The state parliament would meet at the Ständehaus, on the other side of the Kniebrücke from the modern buildings that were built between 1982 and 1988 by architects...

Restaurants  

Füchschen

Füchschen, Düsseldorf

 4 Reviews  Im Füchschen (Little Fox) has become a bit of a meeting point for me. On my second visit to the hallowed beer town it was the first port of call with an old VT friend Kai. On subsequent visits it has been a first port of call of sorts too as I’ve met more VTers there for breakfast. This is another... 

Uerige

Uerige, Düsseldorf

 6 Reviews  After a walk across the Altstadt to have some "Uerige Alt" beers (the second and next tastes better) with "Blutwurst mit Zwiebeln und Röggelchen" (black pudding with onions and a roll), Mainz cheese with bread and butter or ground meat with onions on a half roll. You will find allways all kind of... 

Nightlife  

Old Town

Old Town, Düsseldorf

 31 Reviews  Bar Engel is one of those dark bars with the nice rock music and there are so many of them in Altsadt. You can sit outisde and have a beer or some cocktail while listening rock music and watching a football game on the TV! So so unpretentious. 

Nightclubs

Nightclubs, Düsseldorf

 6 Reviews  Great service with friendly waiters. untill 22:00 it is very very cheap. A kind of advertising... After 22:00 prices are normal. Everynight in a week there is a different theme. Including karaoke, coctail hours etc. Also it is in the city center, and walking to hotel back is easy, if you are drunk.... 

Transportation  

Public Transport

Public Transport, Düsseldorf

 21 Reviews   All you loyal readers of my Cologne page (thanks again to both of you) may recall that in March 2009 the Cologne city archive building collapsed, killing two people and damaging or destroying numerous historical documents. By coincidence a new subway line is being built right in front of where... 

Trains

Trains, Düsseldorf

 16 Reviews  It is huge train station and there were so many signs in German but it was good all the machines have English and I bought my ticket without any problems. The train station is in the center of the city and it's accessible by almost each tram and U-bahn 

Shopping  

Königsallee

Königsallee, Düsseldorf

 17 Reviews  You can easily learn the interesting background of the Kö. Where was the german king was thrown with horse droppings? And many more interesting news, tales and history. The game is only available in german language. Check out Buchhaus Sternverlag. 

Old Town

Old Town, Düsseldorf

 6 Reviews  On our first visit to Düsseldorf our hotel highly recommended that we try to Killepitsch, Düsseldorf’s own special herb liquor. Unfortunately, the store that sells it was closed on the Sunday we were there. Not being deterred, on our next trip to Düsseldorf we revisited the shop and made some... 

Local Customs  

Traditions

Traditions, Düsseldorf

 11 Reviews  What’s the deal with the cartwheeling kids all over Düsseldorf? Statues, the lids of sewer covers, pictures…we had to find out. So we stopped into the Tourist Information Office and found that they even have a brochure about these children doing flips around town! The tradition dates back a very... 

Food and Drink

Food and Drink, Düsseldorf

 22 Reviews  If you go to Düsseldorf you have to know that the city is the "Altbier"-area. Altbier is considered Germany's oldest beer style. It's a dark beer especially brewed in the area around Düsseldorf. Never ever order a Kölsch (from Cologne) in Düsseldorf - the waitress may beat you up ;-) - that could... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Outside Düsseldorf

Outside Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf

 5 Reviews  Mettmann is a small town in the "Bergisches Land". It's the town I work in and I normally just see the same spots here ("our" villa and the local supermarket) but there's also a lovely Market Square with a big church surrounded by cute slate buildings here. The name Mettmann is a bit funny actually... 

Kaiserswerth

Kaiserswerth, Düsseldorf

 4 Reviews  This old stretcher is quite different to those we know by watching 'Emergency Room' on TV. It was used in 1850 in Diakonissenanstalt Kaiserswerth on the Rhine. I wonder about the cover on top. Was it used in general or only for expired / passed away Patients? I found this stretcher in the entrance...

Football (Soccer)

Football (Soccer), Düsseldorf

 6 Reviews   German Shepherd World Championship SV BSZS (Shaeferhund Verein Bundessiegerzuchtschau) was held in 2001 on Dusseldorf’s Rheinstadion near the River Rhine. It was our 3rd BSZS (first time in Dusseldorf and never since then). We spent there three wonderful days and enjoyed the championship very much.... 

Ice Hockey

Ice Hockey, Düsseldorf

 4 Reviews  The best you can do on a Friday evening or Sunday afternoon in winter: head towards Brehmstraße ice hockey stadium and cheer for the DEG. Officially called DEG Metro Stars. But they'll always be our DEG. It's a legendary team, with legendary supporters. With a legendary victory tonight. Beating...

Personal Memories and Impressions

Personal Memories and Impressions, Düsseldorf

 22 Reviews  During week-ends, I love to walk from my house to the altstadt (old city) following the Rhein. One day from the Rhein park, I saw a orange ribbon moving accross the OberKasseler bridge. Hundreds of runners, all wearing orange tee-shirts, for the annual Düsseldorf race, in a magic of colors from... 

Old Town/Altstadt

Old Town/Altstadt, Düsseldorf

 13 Reviews  An old bicycle underneath a gas lamppost - what a cliche subject for a photograph! Every American who has ever travelled to Europe has taken this picture! But a stroll through Altstadt will make even the most jaded traveller (certainly NOT a tourist) succumb to the charms of Old Europe.
