Holiday in Düsseldorf

What makes Düsseldorf special as a destination?

Düsseldorf is the elegant capital of North Rhine-Westphalia and one of the most dynamic metropolises on the Rhine. The famous Königsallee — affectionately known as Kö — is one of the most exclusive shopping streets in Europe and reflects the cosmopolitan character of the city with its luxury boutiques, the Kö-Bogen, and the plane tree-lined waterfront. The Medienhafen is Düsseldorf's architectural showcase: The dancing buildings by Frank Gehry, the Rhine Tower with its 168-meter high observation deck, and spectacular new buildings have transformed the former harbor area into a vibrant district filled with restaurants, agencies, and galleries. The Old Town — known as the longest bar in the world — brings together over 260 pubs, breweries, and restaurants in a compact space. Here, the top-fermented Altbier is freshly tapped, accompanied by Rhineland cheerfulness and hearty cuisine featuring Rheinischer Sauerbraten and Himmel un Ääd. The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, K20 and K21, presents one of the most significant collections of modern art in Germany. Düsseldorf is also the most Japanese city in Europe: Around Immermannstraße, a vibrant Japanese community has established itself with authentic restaurants, supermarkets, and cultural institutions. The Japanese Garden in Nordpark and the EKO House of Japanese Culture emphasize this special connection. The Rhine promenade, Benrath Palace, and Carnival make Düsseldorf a versatile travel destination.
