An authentic experience of Düsseldorf can be had on a tour of the old town, where an Altbier (German dark beer) in one of the rustic pubs at the "longest bar in the world" is a must. A shopping trip to the famous Königsallee or a walk along the Rhine promenade are all part of a visit to the state capital. The city shows its young, creative side in the trendy Flingern district, where many small fashion boutiques, cafés and galleries have made their home.

In addition to more than a hundred small and large galleries, Düsseldorf also offers visitors an array of art that is unparalleled throughout NRW with its large museums: With Kunstsammlung NRW and Museum Kunstpalast, two internationally renowned museums have found their home in Düsseldorf.
