Düsseldorf Highlights

What's the walk about?

Welcome to Düsseldorf, the effortlessly stylish capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, where the Rhine sweeps past an old town that locals proudly call 'the longest bar in the world.' This walk threads together everything that makes the city tick: the luxury shop windows of the Königsallee, the copper-dark Altbier poured straight from wooden barrels in centuries-old brewery-taverns, the twisted spire of St. Lambertus, and the breezy riverside promenade. From medieval market squares and a lone castle tower we'll follow the water south along the Rhine, ending with the soaring Rheinturm rising over the riverbank to the south. Fashion, beer culture, history and daring architecture — one easy stroll along the Rhine ties it all together.
