Düsseldorf's heart beats in the old town. And it beats to its own rhythm: in the historic alleys, the spirit of the metropolis meets Rhineland serenity. The area measures just half a square kilometre, yet it is home to more than just ‘the longest bar in the world’. More than 700 years of city history await you here.
Historic buildings and cultural venues, shopping and strolling, cuisine and art – the Old Town has many faces and even more stories to tell. On this city tour, you can hear them from Düsseldorf locals. Over 260 bars and clubs, as well as cafés and restaurants, justify the Old Town's reputation as a legendary nightlife district. A local speciality: it's only a few steps between the brewery and the church, the historic market square and the modern museum building. Find out where Hoppeditz awakens, what role Elector Jan Wellem plays in the art city of Düsseldorf and how the cartwheeler became a landmark. A special finale? A detour to the Rhine promenade is well worth it. Here, you can enjoy views of Düsseldorf's famous bridges and the picturesque Rhine meadows.
You can visit the Maritime Museum in the castle tower on Burgplatz. The Rhine comes to life on the banks of the Rhine – experience its history, power, and secrets on seven fascinating floors full of models, interactive stations and surprising perspectives.
