City of seven bridges

The seven bridges across the River Rhine, the Old Town with its castle tower, the charming cobblestoned streets, the modern skyline of the Media harbour and the famous leaning Gehry buildings are the defining features of the federal state’s capital of North Rhine Westphalia. If you love shopping, you’ll find what you’re looking for at the exclusive Königsallee, or ‘Kö’ as the locals call it, or in one of the trendy boutiques in the Old Town. Afterwards, why not relax in one of the traditional brewery pubs or trendy eateries, or enjoy the evening atmosphere on the wide steps of Burgplatz, voted one of the most beautiful squares in Germany.
