Representing any town to someone is always challenging since there are many places to see and you need to plan everything carefully. However, the first thing you need to do is to meet your friends as soon as they arrive, and Dusseldorf Arrivals mapcan be extremely helpful in this situation.
If your friends want to see everything at the same time, then here is a good guide to give them everything that Dusseldorf has.
See everything at once
If your friends literally want to see the whole Dusseldorf at once, then you should take them to the Rhineturm. It is 240.5 meter-high with the observation deck at the height of 164 meters. It offers unrestricted views of Dusseldorf with the mighty river Rhine, stunning bridges, classic and modern architecture, and marvelous gardens. It also has a restaurant.
The river Rhine
Being an inseparable part of Dusseldorf, the Rhine always attracts visitors. It may be a short cruise on the river, or you can have a great cruise visiting such historical zones as Kaiserwerth and Zons. Such cruises are especially great during summer since you will never forget a sunset on the Rhine.
The longest bar
The “Old Town” (or Dusseldorf Altstadt) is located along the Rhine. Around 300 bars, pubs and small breweries are located here and they are all connected, so they form the longest bar. This is one of the most cheerful places, where locals and tourists like spending their time. Being here, you have to order the world-famous Dusseldorf dark copper-colored beer called “Altbier”.
It is the time for some activity
If your friends prefer adventures and they like various activities, then you should take them to Querfeldein, which is the perfect place for people who like challenges. It is located near a lake and it offers various options for visitors – from a long-day course to an event that lasts for several days. Here you can find:
- A high rope course
- Adventure games
- Archery
- Canoeing
- Climbing
If you are not ready for these kinds of activities, then you should consider visiting various Pilates studios, like Pilates Essenza, Pilates Time, Youpila or Pilateszeit, etc.
Hotrod Tour Düsseldorf is a perfect option for people who prefer cruising around at a high speed. You get a mini hotrod that can go as fast as 85 km/h. There are several tours available, including on weeknights.
You can always get a great bike at Ferghana to cycle around the city without missing anything.
