Dusseldorf Tour Package from India

Dusseldorf is the fashion capital of Germany and is renowned for its arts and music. The city has raised many seminal artists, none more so than Kraftwerk, the electronic music pioneers. the city more affordable in comparison to the other German cities; after all, Düsseldorf comes in at the top of the list of the most expensive cities in Germany, right behind Hamburg, Stuttgart, Munich and Frankfurt. Snowfalls in Düsseldorf are quite frequent, though usually not abundant, and occur in the form of light snow, sometimes, however, snow can accumulate on the ground, and last for many days, if it occurs during cold waves. In addition to the many other fun things to do in Düsseldorf, each July the city hosts the Größte Kirmes am Rhein, which literally translates to the “Largest Fair on the Rhine.” This massive, week-long funfair attracts more than four million visitors each year. And in November, the popular Karneval brings parades and colorful costumes. Düsseldorf’s most elegant street, Königsallee – literally translated into English as “King’s Avenue” – is affectionately known to locals as the “Kö” and is said to be Germany’s ritziest shopping district.

Düsseldorf’s Rhine Embankment Promenade (Rheinuferpromenade) offers one of the best ways of enjoying the city’s wonderful riverside. Opened in 1997 as a means of hiding one of the city’s busiest roads (it’s buried beneath the promenade), this long pedestrian route gives the city a distinctly Mediterranean flavor, lined as it is by cafés, restaurants, galleries, and shops on one side, and the mighty Rhine on the other. Running all the way from the Oberkassel Bridge and connecting the Old Town to the state’s Parliament buildings, the one-and-a-half-kilometer, tree-lined promenade encompasses pedestrian and bike paths and offers countless opportunities for sightseeing and people watching. You’ll find a genial mix of tourists and locals enjoying it all year long. Taking a stroll along this delightful pedestrian route remains one of top things to do in Düsseldorf at night. Another highlight is the Castle Tower (Schlossturm) in Burgplatz on the banks of the Rhine. The only surviving section of the old castle that once dominated the city, the tower is home to the SchiffahrtsMuseum, one of Germany’s best (and oldest) marine museums with fascinating exhibits on the history of shipbuilding and trade.

The best of the massive Düsseldorf-Hafen (Dusseldorf Harbor) redevelopment is in Neuer Zollhof, a stunning section highlighted by the Frank O. Gehry-designed office buildings of Medienhafen (Media Harbor), three quite distinct structures completed in 1998 that seem to defy gravity as they lean and curve like jelly frozen in mid-wobble. Among the more unusual things to do in Düsseldorf is to take a stroll through a serene Japanese garden. One of Düsseldorf’s most popular parks – and at 90 acres, one of its largest – Nordpark is crisscrossed by wide pathways through its spacious lawns and themed gardens, including the lovely Lily Garden. The large Japanese Garden, presented to the city by Düsseldorf’s Japanese community, has an astonishing variety of landscapes.
