Düsseldorf, Germany’s answer to Milan, isn’t just known for its fashion industry. With portions of Düsseldorf’s old town built as far back as the 1300s, it packs a historical punch, too. On this tour, I’ll show you the city’s historical highlights and share a few little-known stories. You’ll quickly find yourself in Königsallee, a boulevard known for its posh, upscale stores. I’ll share the area’s history and point out several historical and picturesque bridges. Then you'll find yourself in the beautifully preserved Old Town, where I’ll show you which ancient houses survived the war and which were restored. When we reach the Rhine Embankment Promenade, you’ll have an idea of what the area looked like some centuries ago. So, put on your walking shoes and discover the quirky corners of Germany’s most interesting cities.

About Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf is a Rhineland city of art, fashion and business, with a riverside promenade, an old town of brewpubs and modern harbour architecture.
Düsseldorf spreads along the east bank of the Rhine, and the riverside promenade below the Old Town is where the city gathers. The Altstadt is packed with brewpubs serving altbier, a dark copper beer, and is nicknamed the longest bar in the world. Close by, the Rheinturm television tower rises above the Medienhafen, a former harbour now lined with sculptural buildings by Frank Gehry and other architects.
