Things to Do  

Old Town/Altstadt

Old Town/Altstadt, Düsseldorf

 67 Reviews  This beautiful Medieval church in the old town, built in 1288 is the oldest building in the city - the slightly twisted steeple was an accident caused by builders using damp timbers! Unfortunately I didn't have time to go inside! 

Rheinturm

Rheinturm, Düsseldorf

 41 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. 

Kö (Königsallee)

Kö (Königsallee), Düsseldorf

 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... 

Media Port/Medienhafen

Media Port/Medienhafen, Düsseldorf

 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... 

Hotels  

Radisson Blu Media Harbour Hotel, Dusseldorf

 3 Reviews and 136 Opinions  Situated half way between the centre of town and the airport (well all right nearer the centre),... 

InterContinental Duesseldorf

Restaurants  

Na Ni Wa

Na Ni Wa, Düsseldorf

 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... 

Zum Schlüssel

Zum Schlüssel, Düsseldorf

 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... 

Nightlife  

Old Town

Old Town, Düsseldorf

 33 Reviews  We stopped off here on a balmy night in April. It was nice to sit outside with a few beers and put the world to rights. We tried the dark, local, Alt Frankenheim beer, but to be honest I wasn't that impressed and so went back to the lighter lager. 

Nightclubs

Nightclubs, Düsseldorf

 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.... 

Transportation  

Public Transport

Public Transport, Düsseldorf

 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... 

Trains

Trains, Düsseldorf

 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... 

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

 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... 

Local Customs  

Food and Drink

Food and Drink, Düsseldorf

 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... 

Traditions

Traditions, Düsseldorf

 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... 

Off The Beaten Path  

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... 

Schloss Benrath

Schloss Benrath, Düsseldorf

 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,... 

Sports & Outdoors  

Football (Soccer)

Football (Soccer), Düsseldorf

 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... 

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... 

Favorites  

Old Town/Altstadt

Old Town/Altstadt, Düsseldorf

 15 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. 

Personal Memories and Impressions

Personal Memories and Impressions, Düsseldorf

 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...
