General presentation
Düsseldorf
Rhenish city of design, art, fashion, docks, old town and contemporary architecture of MedienHafen.
Königsallee, MedienHafen and Rheinuferpromenade give the most telling landmarks of Düsseldorf. Together, they form a destination where the big city, urban life, riverscapes and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be expected: urban destination and high prices during trade shows. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Königsallee
Königsallee gives Düsseldorf an elegant look, with its central canal, trees, luxury shops and neat facades. The walk is as much for the atmosphere as for shopping, especially if you continue to the old town or the banks of the Rhine.
Place
Altstadt Düsseldorf
The Altstadt of Düsseldorf concentrates streets, breweries, churches and lively squares just a stone's throw from the Rhine. There you can feel a friendly and very exit-oriented city, where the Altbier, the terraces and the promenade on the docks easily structure the evening.
Place
Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen
The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen gives Düsseldorf a major artistic anchor, with strong modern and contemporary art ensembles distributed among its central locations. We come here to look at a few rooms with attention rather than to absorb everything: painting, abstraction, installations and architecture interact with a city already very attentive to design.
