Best Dusseldorf Day Trips & Things to Do

This upscale, fashion-conscious city, the most prosperous in Germany, has the best nightlife on the Rhine. Dusseldorf, capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, is a modern metropolis with eye-popping avant-garde architecture. However, it still has an alluring Altstadt (Old Town) overflowing with pubs and clubs; in fact, it is often referred to as “the longest bar in the world.” Fashionistas flock to the Konigsallee, an upscale shopping street bisected by a canal that is lined with fashion showrooms and luxury shops.
