Dusseldorf Vacations, Germany

The lively cosmopolitan metropolis has a lot to offer in terms of culture, fashion, media and shopping to the tourists. The busy square of Burgplatz has on offer the historic Schlossturm tower and the area also has a lot of restaurants and cafes whose surroundings resemble that of Tuscany or Umbria. In Dusseldorf Germany, Burgplatz is an ideal starting point for a tour of the area. Tourists are quite fascinated by Dusseldorf’s Altstadt known as ‘the longest bar in the world’. Though it is small in size, you will be amazed that it can house about 200 bars, cafes and restaurants. The area is not only about food and drink – it even has a number of cultural attractions such as the Hetjens Museum, Film Museum, Stadtmuseum, Heinrich Heine Institute and Palais Wittgenstein.

You are going to be simply bamboozled by the 234m telecommunications tower at Rheinturm which, as the highest building in the city towers magnificently over Dusseldorf. If you have never tried a glass of wine at a height of 180m, you can try one here in the revolving ‘Top 180’ restaurant from where you can just soak in the sun slowly setting over the city.

Konigsallee is the central boulevard in Dusseldorf as the premier shopping street. Visitors will love the place as it is now considered to be a major fashion centre in perhaps the whole of Europe. For those fond of music and theatre, Tonhalle is now the premier concert hall where they can enjoy an evening of classical jazz, rock and pop concerts whichever is on at that time.
