Lifestyle – Düsseldorf

Rhenish joie de vivre

Düsseldorf stands for well-being, exciting experiences and discoveries. A city that cherishes its traditions and stimulates all senses – elegant, hospitable and of typical Rhenish joie de vivre! The city is always on the go, is constantly celebrating. Whether on the biggest German jazz festival or the Japanese day with spectacular fireworks - boredom is not an option in Düsseldorf.

River Rhine

As in no other city, Germany’s biggest river shapes the lives of inhabitants and visitors to Düsseldorf. The Rhine embankment promenade creates a unique atmosphere that attracts locals and visitors alike. In Düsseldorf, a boat excursion on the river Rhine is a must! During the one hour tours the boats take their passengers from Burgplatz (Old Town) along Düsseldorf’s Rhine Promenade to the unique MediaHarbor with the spectacular Gehry buildings - a particular favourite with photographers.

Old Town

The Old Town still has the original beautiful cobblestone. It is the place where the city had its origin more than 700 years ago. Discover the creek which gave Düsseldorf its name and get acquainted with the city’s history. In the narrow lanes of the Old Town more than 260 restaurants, bars and local breweries can be found.

'Königsallee' - Shopping Boulevard

Düsseldorf's internationally best known trademark is the Königsallee ('Kö'). Germany's most sophisticated mile is considered one of the world's grand luxurious boulevards. The ‘Kö’ presents the international fashion scene as well as luxurious shopping malls. Elegant pavement cafés invite to seeing and being seen.
