About Dusseldorf
Düsseldorf is Germany's fashion and finance hub — sleek, modern, and wealthier than most German cities. The Altstadt (old town) claims to be the 'longest bar in the world' with 260+ bars in a half-mile strip. It's not as gritty as Berlin or charming as Munich, but it's a solid base for the Rhine region.
Highlights
- •Altstadt bar crawl (especially for Altbier, local dark beer)
- •Rhine River promenade (Rheinuferpromenade)
- •MedienHafen (modern architecture district)
- •Day trips to Cologne (30 minutes by train)
