Visitors to Düsseldorf are spoilt for choice: This cosmopolitan city invites you to enjoy a wide range of shopping amenities, museums, theatres, architecture, art galleries and countless other opportunities to customise your stay. As of 10 December you can travel comfortably on the new CFL direct service from Luxembourg to Düsseldorf on the KISS train without having to change.
How about a sightseeing trip through the Rhine-Ruhr metropolis? These sights are an absolute must on any discovery tour of the city:
-
- Königsallee is Germany’s most visited luxury boulevard, renowned for its luxury boutiques. Called “Kö” for short, Düsseldorf’s probably most famous street is a popular destination for shopping and going out.
-
- In turn, Schadowstrasse is the highest-grossing shopping mile in the whole of Europe.
-
- Located in the south of Düsseldorf, Benrath is one of the most beautiful palaces of the 18th century. An outstanding feature is the picturesque park, which entices visitors to take long walks. The west and east wings of the palace built by the architect Nicolas de Pigage house the Museum of Natural Science and the Museum of European Garden Art.
-
- At a height of 240.50 metres Düsseldorf’s television tower is the tallest building in the city and one of its most well known landmarks. Approximately 300,000 people visit the tower every year to enjoy the splendid view.
-
- The Rheinuferpromenade, Düsseldorf’s famous strolling promenade along the Rhine offers a combination of the modern harbour MedienHafen and the old town, which are also worth a visit. Bars, cafés and restaurants invite you to stay awhile.
-
- Internationally renowned architects have created the multifaceted picture composed of modern and traditional architecture offered by Düsseldorf’s MedienHafen. Tourists can even book a tour around MedienHafen (through Düsseldorf Tourismus GmbH). Take advantage of the culinary delights on offer to round off your walk in the harbour.
-
- Is there anybody who has not heard of it, of the “longest bar in the world”? Well, it is to be found in Düsseldorf’s old town, where over 260 bars, cocktail lounges, breweries, pubs and clubs are lined up. There is a lot to try out in just half a square kilometre.
-
- The building of Düsseldorf’s legislative assembly, the Landtag, is also worth visiting. Although Düsseldorf has been the capital of North-Rhine Westphalia since 1946, it was not until 1988 that the legislative assembly moved into the building. The previous building of the legislative assembly, the house of the estates, today holds a part of the North-Rhine Westphalian art collection.
