Frank Gehry Buildings, Some Parts Try a Bit Too Hard to be Stylish
In a nutshell

City of Punks, trendy snobs and business people ;-)
31 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...
38 Reviews This very modern architecture is just a short walk from the Rhine Tower. Judging by the apparent lack of occupancy, these offices/appartments are not to everyone's taste - but in my opinion they are really quite fabulous and definitely well worth a look if you are visiting this city - a wonderful...
1 Review and 56 Opinions wonderful,luxurious, and friendly, the very best when looking for the best staff knowledgable of all...
12 Reviews I like Japanese food and there are lots of Japanese restaurants in Dusseldorf. I always take my friends who visit me to one of the Japanese restaurants here ... kind of an excuse to eat Japanese food :-). Na Ni Wa is my fave since it has a lot of choices... if you fancy noodle food you can go to Na...
7 Reviews Zum Schlussel is yet another Dusseldorf institution on the busy Bolkerstrasse. Though a bit more upscale than the city’s other brewpubs it is nonetheless a traditional and noisy affair. Oddly enough the servers are women, quite unusual and different from the other brewpubs in town. It serves perhaps...
8 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....
25 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that in March 2009 the Cologne city archive building collapsed, killing two people and damaging or destroying numerous historical documents.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...
17 Reviews Photos: 1. A third-generation ICE train in Düsseldorf main station 2. An ICE train going through Montabaur station on the new high-speed line 3. The Loreley and the Rhine River from the train on the old route. The fastest trains between Frankfurt am Main and Düsseldorf are the third generation...
5 Reviews Since Uerige is a tourist stop of the highest order they also sell souvenirs. There is a glass case from which you choose from amongst the beery goodies. Alt bier glasses and beer mats are probably easiest to transport but there are lots of things to buy including swing top bottles of the world...
24 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...
10 Reviews This is actually a local custom for Hannover but since I’ve never been there and was introduced to it by Hanover transplant Sabsi who now resides in Düsseldorf I’ll put it here. She thoughtfully gave me a special little glass set for my birthday and we got down to business on her balcony. It seems...
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...
3 Reviews We did it as kids in the afternoon, adult-visitors do the same. The Ballet-school is in the big main-building of the Orangerie. The other door leads you to the public librairy if you want to warm up and read some intern. magazine and newspapers. This site is the place of the previous castle (16th,...
5 Reviews In 14 locations, spreaded over germany, the FIFA and Infront Sports Media AG installs fan curves for following football game up to 4.000 fans. Stadium atmosphere is garantueed. Up to 12 hours on a day, for 31 days and with event programmes. All games are shown at LED Videoscreens. All games are...
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...

26 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...

I arrived in Düsseldorf at 6.20am and immediately became confused by the map in the station, trying to leave by the main exit by walking out the back. This was my first experience with the haphazardly...
