Flights to Dusseldorf
Introduction to Dusseldorf
Welcome to awesome Dusseldorf! The beautiful, historic city, situated on the banks of the Rhine, has something for everyone. From art to fashion to architecture to great food to stunning views, this is truly the place that has it all for anyone at any age!
The best thing about Dusseldorf? It’s the ultimate city to walk around. No other city has the potential for endless exploration, not to mention its beautiful riverside walkways. The old town is right in the center of a variety of high-end boutiques, Baroque and modern architecture, internationally hailed art galleries and impressive culinary institutions.
Considered a mecca of arts and culture since the 17th century, Dusseldorf has over 100 art galleries throughout the city, several world-class museums, a world-famous Opera House, plenty of music venues of all styles, and an impressive ballet and theatre. Like the city itself the art scene is a mixture of old and new, celebrating the traditional while embracing new artists and progressive, edgy art.
Some people come to Dusseldorf for the incredible shopping experience! The elite Konigsallee shopping street has the high- end couture of Fifth avenue, NY and the refined appeal of the Champs Alize. It is one of the reasons Dusseldorf is coined the “Paris of Germany”. Dusseldorf is full of department stores, concept stores and boutiques for the fashion aficionada in all of us.
Once again, combining the old and new, Dusseldorf’s architecture is exceptional. While the old town is made up of hundred years old buildings, the modern Ghery buildings and the Ko-Bogen are just some of the many outstanding landmarks in this architecture enthusiast’ haven. The reconstruction that followed the post-war years allowed for a rethinking of how to make Dusseldorf accessible, modern and extremely commutable.

How to Get Around Dusseldorf
One of the best things about this city is how organized the transport system is.
- Walk Around: As mentioned above, Dusseldorf is ideal for those who love to wander around by foot.
- The Bicycle Route: Tourists are often surprised at how popular bikes are in this city, even in the rain and snow!
- Rhein Bahn: Thanks to the efforts put into rebuilding the city post WWII, Dusseldorf offers a convenient network of trams, buses and trains called the Rhein Bahn. This tourist-friendly system is a time saver as well as an inexpensive means of getting around. You can purchase tickets online, in an information center or over the phone.
- The Underground: The city’s underground is also a way to travel the city easily. The U-Bahn is clearly marked with large signs right near the steps leading down to its stations. Another perk: children under the age of 6 ride for free.
- The Suburban Train: For longer trips and cross-town excursions, these trains are faster than the underground and provide another option. Sometimes these trains are just what you need to get from one neighborhood to another quickly.
- The Night Express: this mode of transport is a new addition to the commute services offered by the city. These late-night buses and underground trains serve to accommodate Dusseldorf’s night scene. Whether heading back from a party, a show, or a night out with friends- this is the best way to go.
- Rent a car: There are several car rental services but take note that a city with so many other options to commute, why worry about parking, getting lost and gas?
