Over the last century, Düsseldorf has developed from a series of small villages to an internationally recognized cultural destination. Napoleon himself fell in love with this city on the Rhine, praising it ‘Little Paris’. Founded 730 years ago, the capital of the North-Rhine Westphalia state is certainly steeped in history, cobbled streets of the picturesque medieval Old Town, but the city also has a modern edge to it. If you’d like to experience your vacation in style, hop onto a limousine and admire the gleaming new architectured skyline and for all the art lovers out there, the city has 20+ museums and 100+ galleries to offer. From stylish shopping, vibrant nightlife to great restaurants, there are more than enough attractions in Düsseldorf to make the most of your holidays. Make Düsseldorf trip more happening with these Amazing tour tips.
There is an abundant collection of contemporary and cutting edge galleries. From Kunst Im Tunnel, which is housed underground in an old tunnel road to NRW-Forum and K21 (with the amazing interactive installation by Tomás Saraceno) – it is very surprising to see how the city has flourished, leaving behind the extraordinary artists and established itself (Düsseldorf) as a European cultural hub.
Don’t forget to visit ‘Hipster Districts’ that we’re most drawn to – Düsseldorf is exceptionally famous for street art, an abundance of cool coffee shops, vintage furniture and clothing stores, tasty vegan food and plenty of painfully fashionable 20-somethings.
Wandel (Friedenstraße 62) – 1,300 vintage exhibition locations, Antique furniture, Art Decors, industrial designs, Art Nouveau, Bauhaus…. The city is mentioned in the list of most recommended places to buy gifts for your friends and family.
Here at Düsseldorf, you’ll find beautiful streets covered and painted in graffiti, exhibiting the culture and history of the city in 18 century. Just a word of warning, however; if you’re planning on taking photos, try and visit the city during the day because, after 4 p.m, lights get dim and low which unfortunately isn’t the best time for photography.
A historic roundhouse for locomotives finds a new calling as the home of Classic Remise Düsseldorf, a center for all things relating to classic cars and black cars. It most certainly is a car lover’s paradise, a combination showroom of repair and restoration facility, parts shop, auto storage facility, and shops for auto-related clothing and gifts. A particularly unusual feature is the number of glass storage “boxes,” where owners can store cars securely while leaving them visible to aficionados.

Designed in the English landscape style, this delightful 68-acre site includes extensive meadows and wooded areas, as well as numerous streams and ponds. Among its many notable buildings is the Baroque Hofgärtnerhaus, or Court Gardener House, former home of garden architect Maximilian Weyhe and now housing the city’s Theatre Museum. Also worthy of a visit is Schloss Jägerhof, a former hunting lodge built in rococo style in 1763, albeit briefly inhabited, by Napoleon is a stop one must make during their travel.

Tracing its roots back to the 13th century is the Church of St. Suitbertus, noted for its beautiful reliquary of the saint. Even older, is the Kaiserpfalz, the imperial stronghold of Emperor Frederick I, also known as Barbarossa. Although almost structurally ruined, the scale of the site still impresses with walls thicker than four meters.
