Dussuldorf is located along the banks of the Rhine River in Western Germany. For over 700 years, Dusseldorf, has been one of Germany’s most important cities, reinforcing the culture and lifestyle of the country. Today, Dusseldorf is one of Germany’s most modern cities and boasts the largest Japanese population in Europe.

Alstadt

Alstadt, also known as Old Town, is the older section of the city. The area is home to a pedestrian mall. A traveler will delight in the numerous shops and restaurants located in this area. Alstadt is also home to over 250 pubs, clubs and taverns. This is why it is referred to as the world’s longest bar.

While visiting Alstadt, a traveler may wish to visit Karlstadt and Burgplatz. Karlstadt, located just outside of Alstadt, is renowned for its exquisite antique shops. Burgplatz is the square located in the heart of Alstadt and is home to Schloßturm’s tower.

Rehinufer Promenade

The Rehinufer Promenade runs from Schloßturm’s tower, along the Rhine River, and ends at the historical Media Harbor. Because of increasing congestion throughout Dusseldorf, the promenade was constructed in 1995. A nature lover will especially be enthralled with the scenic beauty and open air as well as the over one mile stretch of pedestrian walkways and bicycle paths.

Media Harbor

Although Media Harbor is home to a number of historical monuments and architecture, its buildings were once unused and in disrepair. However, over the past several years, Media Harbor has received a more modern touch. A visitor to this part of Dusseldorf will see a flourishing sector with a number of modern buildings that house businesses and television studios. A traveler looking to experience Dusseldorf’s nightlife should visit some of the clubs that are located in Media Harbor.

Hofgarten

This park in Dusseldorf was originally designed and built in 1769 by Prince Karl Theodor for the private use of the royal family. Hofgarten was destroyed during wartime in the early 1800’s. However, upon learning of the park’s destruction, Napoleon Bonaparte ordered it rebuilt. Today, the park is open and can be enjoyed by the public.

Konigsalle Promenade

The “Ko” as it is affectionately called is Dusseldorf’s most popular destination. Built in 1804, the Konigsalle Promenade is known for its extended walkways and streets. Its shops offer locals and travelers alike an exceptional place to go window shopping.

Insel Hombroich

This museum, located in the heart of Dusseldorf, is renowned for its unique art displays and sculptures. A visitor touring Insel Hombroich will notice its subtle difference from any other museum he or she will visit. The Insel Hombroich displays no descriptions or information on the pieces of artwork.

Deutsche Oper am Rhein

The best place for a traveler to experience the culture of Germany is the Deutsche Oper am Rhein. Located near the Rhine River, this is one of Germany’s most distinguished opera houses. Performances at the opera house are rich in German heritage and history.

Kaiserwerth

Just outside of Dusseldorf, a person can experience the natural beauty of Kaiserwerth. Kaiserwerth not only offers breathtaking views of Germany’s countryside but showcases its historical elegance in the form of Barbarossa’s castle. Built in medieval times, Barbarossa’s castle is now in ruins. However, people traveling to Kaiserwerth can still view the site.

A person traveling throughout Germany should make it a point to visit the city of Dusseldorf. Located just north of Cologne, Dusseldorf offers travelers a unique blend of history and culture with a modern twist.
