Düsseldorf creates a fantastic environment for you to enjoy this European city. There are numerous festivals throughout the year that showcase the joy of life the locals have. Everything is worth celebrating here and the locals welcome you as their guests as you explore all the areas that make Düsseldorf unique. You’ll find great shopping, world-class museums and cozy pubs. There are even swimming pools located throughout the city for you to enjoy. You’ll soon find that this beautiful city is exactly where you want to be.

The streets get pretty packed in Königsallee, which is also known as the Kö. It’s filled with great shops and places to enjoy a delicious meal. And although all of that is reason enough to come down, the street itself is quite beautiful. In fact, that seems to be the biggest drawing card for most guests. There are lovely chestnut trees that line the street, a landscaped canal as well as the entrance to Hofgarten, a great park in the middle of the city.

The Altstadt is considered the old quarter of the city and is affectionately known as the longest bar in the world. There are great little pubs, home-brew taverns and bistros that fill up this stretch. And with over 250 places to choose from, you’ll find the perfect spot to enjoy a pint of the local beer. Even though the beer is fantastic, Altstadt is also home to world-class museums and stunning architecture. The streets are lined with townhouses and churches showcasing its long history.

Düsseldorf continues to strive in becoming a modern city. Although it has a well known association with the fashion world, and the shops in Königsallee prove that, its also become well known for its urban redevelopment. The area known as the Media Mile is 37-acres long and is situated along side the harbor. It was once a shabby part of town but is now home to the wealthy. The old warehouses have been converted into modern homes and the area is now a beautiful stretch for you to walk along.

For the museum lovers traveling with you, they won’t be disappointed here. There are 19 museums, all of which are worth exploring. The themes range from contemporary to medieval, ceramic to Roman glass, natural history to theater history. Because of this wide selection, Düsseldorf has created the Art Card. It’s a pass that allows you to visit each museum for one price. It’s a good deal and worth the funds if you plan on visiting more than a few.

Although Europe is filled with stunning castles, the Benrath Castle is one you should really try to see. Once used as a hunting lodge and summerhouse for the wealthy, its now a beautiful example of the architecture used during its era. The 156-acre grounds that surround it are quite beautiful as they face the Rhine River and are surrounded by forests and fields.

Düsseldorf is a beautiful European city filled with lots to explore. Because of its ideal geographical location, it’s also a great starting point to many other European cities. For example, only 15 minutes away, you’ll find Warner Brothers Movie World in Duisburg and 45 minutes away is Bonn’s Musical 'Starlight Express' by Andrew Lloyd-Webber. These are only a few ideas of what you can experience in this area. There are many more great places to visit. Whether you decide to spend all your time in Düsseldorf, or start your journey here, you’ll find it to be the perfect spot to enjoy a fantastic holiday.
