Reaching the old town of Dusseldorf

During the day as well as in the evening a visit to the fascinating old town of Düsseldorf should not be missing. It is easy to get there with your hired car. Sufficient parking spaces are available. The narrow alleys, the old churches and the distinguished, old trading houses here already offer a charming picture during the day, but in the evening the old town of Dusseldorf is filled with life. Then many trendy bars, clubs and restaurants open their doors. Above all, the traveller who wants to discover Dusseldorf is offered the original Düsseldorf with its slightly rough nature. Anyone who has ever sat at the"longest bar in the world" in one of the pubs will be able to confirm this. With Altbier and Haxen, the Köbesse (that's what they call the waiters here) will tell you one or the other story, it certainly won't be boring. During the day you can visit the many cultural and art institutions of Dusseldorf.

Daring a view from the Rhine Tower

Relatively new is the Rhine Tower in Düsseldorf, which offers a wide view over the Rhine and a part of the beautiful landscape. This square in Düsseldorf can also be easily reached by car. Built between 1972 and 1982, the tower is 240.5 metres high and there is a restaurant at an already very impressive height of 172.5 metres. The special feature here is that the restaurant rotates around its own axis once every hour. It doesn't matter at which of the 180 seats you sit, one can look in any direction within this hour. Those who only want to enjoy the beautiful view without eating can do so on the observation platform, which is 164 meters high. From here, when the view is clear, the traveller can even see Cologne Cathedral in Cologne. 

Rhine bank promenade, highly recommended especially in summer

Especially when you travel to Dusseldorf in summer, you can experience a Mediterranean-like attitude to life on the promenade along the banks of the Rhine. If you like, you can park your rented car in the old town or at the MediaPort and stroll from here. Go along the many cafés and bars and watch the ships sailing along the Rhine. After the KÖ, this is the second famous promenade of the city of Dusseldorf, here, not only the tourists but also the locals meet. For example for a boules game. In June, the famous Düsseldorf cartwheels will also compete here at the foot of the old town. These have become the symbol of Düsseldorf and decorate postcards, keyrings or similar souvenirs. The young gymnasts, however, who asked for a penny from the bystanders, have unfortunately long since disappeared from the townscape of the state capital of North Rhine-Westphalia.

A diversion to one of the two castles of Dusseldorf

Benrath Castle is located in a beautiful park outside the city centre of Düsseldorf. This can also be easily reached with the hired car provided by a car hire company. Museums here in the castle invite you to marvel and discover, such as the "Museum für Europäische Gartenkunst" or the "Naturkunde Museum". The park with its approximately 60 hectares of gardens borders directly on the banks of the Rhine. During a visit to the museum, you can also take a long stroll through the sea of flowers in the gardens. Afterwards, Schlosscafé is an ideal place for a rest period. The Jägerhof castle, where Napoleon once resided, can also be reached conveniently by hired car. Today it is always worth a visit with the cheap rented car due to the accommodated Goethe museum.
