The city
Düsseldorf is the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, on the banks of the Rhine. The Altstadt, the old town, brings together squares, churches and Altbier breweries; the Rheinuferpromenade leads to the Rheinturm and the MedienHafen, with buildings by Frank Gehry. The Königsallee is the shopping boulevard with a canal in the middle. The K20, K21 and Kunstpalast museums cover art from the 20th century to today, and in the south of the city lies the baroque palace Schloss Benrath.

The local experience
Düsseldorf's old town by the Rhine: narrow streets with more than 300 bars, restaurants and Altbier breweries, the town hall, the Burgplatz square with the tower of the old castle and the crooked-tower church St. Lambertus.
The riverside promenade along the Rhine that links the Altstadt to the Rheinturm and the MedienHafen, with steps, benches and cafés. It was created after the riverside avenue was placed into a tunnel.
Düsseldorf's shopping boulevard, the Kö, with a tree-lined canal down the middle, luxury shops on one side and banks on the other, and the Triton fountain at the northern end.
Former port area transformed into a district of offices, restaurants and contemporary architecture, featuring Frank Gehry's three wavy buildings, the Neuer Zollhof.
240-metre telecommunications tower on the Rhine, with a glassed-in viewing platform at 168 metres, a rotating restaurant and a light clock on the façade.
20th-century art museum in the Altstadt, with a curved black granite façade and works by Picasso, Matisse and a large collection of Paul Klee.
Contemporary art museum in an 1880 palace that was once the seat of the parliament, on the shore of a lake in the Kaiserteich park, with a glass dome.
Düsseldorf's art museum in the Ehrenhof complex, beside the Reno, with a collection that ranges from old masters to design and a glass museum.
18th-century Baroque summer and hunting palace in the south of Düsseldorf, with gardens and a park that extend to the Reno and three museums housed in the ensemble's buildings.
