About Dusseldorf

A dynamic metropolis, Düsseldorf has long captivated visitors with its alluring mix of gleaming high-rises, cutting-edge harbourfront architecture, and charming historic districts. One of Germany's most affluent cities, Düsseldorf has a reputation for sophisticated shopping, fantastic gourmet fare and a thriving arts scene. The best places to stay in Düsseldorf reflect this cosmopolitan character, offering sleek, contemporary hotels and B&Bs for an elegant city break.

The legendary Königsallee is Düsseldorf’s main shopping hub. Studded with international fashion houses, this tree-lined boulevard ranks among the world's most luxurious shopping streets. For pieces by emerging designers, browse the boutiques of the atmospheric Altstadt or Lorettostrasse, before hunting for vintage finds in trendy Flingern. Art enthusiasts gravitate toward Carlstadt for galleries and antiques, or tour the three exhibition venues of the fantastic Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, with its world-class art collection.

Düsseldorf's architecture also tells a story of resilience and reinvention. The MedienHafen showcases bold urban planning, with three striking Frank Gehry buildings to admire on the banks of the Rhine — in striking contrast to the pockets of beautiful Art Nouveau architecture which survived the war. Immerse yourself in the city’s history through a guided tour of the Oberkassel district, or book theatre, music and arts performances in imposing venues well in advance. The best places to stay in Düsseldorf fill up fast when the city hosts trade fairs or cultural events — book your room well in advance!
