- The ``Kö'' Koenigsallee
One of the most popular Düsseldorf sights is the Königsallee. It is probably the most famous shopping street in the country, or at least as well known as Berlin's Ku'damm. However, it is better known under the nickname "Kö". This shopping street is perfect for an extensive shopping spree, because there are many nice shops here that are tailored to your needs. From fashion to jewelery to sports and lifestyle, everything is here. If you walk through the Königsallee here, you should get your feet on the pedals. It is best if you are traveling by bike. Bikes can be hired inexpensively from the many bike parking spots along the roadside.
- Carnival
Carnival is an insanely fun time! This is also due to the fact that the Düsseldorf tradition of the fifth season has spread to the people. The whole town is dressed up in the craziest costumes and people party till they drop. But if you've never been to Düsseldorf, you might think it's one big festival. In addition to the countless costume parades, there are also many other activities that are a special experience for young and old.
- Rhine Tower
The Rhine Tower is one of the most famous sights in the city. It is the tenth highest television tower in Germany and a landmark of Düsseldorf. The Rhine Tower was completed in 1982 and is located on the banks of the Rhine. It has a height of about 240 meters. But what exactly is the building called? Surprisingly, the Rheinturm is not only a television tower, but also a clock tower. He performed these two functions together from 1982 to 2000. Up to this point in time, the "rheinterrassenuhr" kept the clock here. If you are regularly in the vicinity of Düsseldorf, you should definitely take a look at the building up close.
