spacer Whether it is a walk through the city, a tour on the Rhine or a visit to a museum, visitors to Düsseldorf will find plenty to see and do. The city has not been called "Little Paris" without reason: The bustling "Kö" and the charming Old Town - with its many pubs, bars and bistros - are well-known throughout the world. Culture vultures will appreciate the city's numerous museums, and its famous opera house and theatre.
Düsseldorf also has plenty to offer the sports enthusiast: from water sports on the Rhine, and athletics in the 'LTU-Arena' and 'Arena-Sportpark', to ice skating in the 'Eisstadion' and inline skating on the Rhine promenade, those seeking an active holiday will not be disappointed!
And those seeking recreation and relaxation will find both on offer in the extensive park around Benrath Castle or on the Baldeneysee in Essen.

Sights to see:
The charm of the capital of North-Rhine Westphalia is famous the world over. The shopping mile "Königsallee", the picturesque Old Town and the numerous remarkable museums bring countless numbers of tourists to Düsseldorf every year. A visit to the Landtag or the Rhenish Stock Exchange are also worthwhile. Trips to Cologne, to "Starlight Express" in Bochum, or to the Port of Duisburg will be an unforgettable experience.
