Dusseldorf Holidays

City breaks in Dusseldorf have a truly universal flavour, with a cultural course to suit any palate. The popular Altstadt area is affectionately known as 'the longest bar in the world', where the local Altbier flows almost as fast as the Rhine in bustling riverside establishments. In the historic quarter hearty German food is complimented by a variety of international restaurants. High-brow art and culture are equally well catered for in the museums, theatres and the distinguished Dusseldorf opera house.

The redeveloped harbour area, the MedienHafen, offers upscale dining and cosmopolitan drinking in the stunning surroundings of avant-garde modernist architecture created by the very best of the genre, such as the legendary Frank Gehry. Having established itself as a centre for banking, advertising, telecommunications and fashion, Dusseldorf is now flirting with its reputation to put nightlife, culture, shopping and entertainment at the forefront of its city break appeal.

The streets of Dusseldorf are lined with cafes, coffee bars and restaurants. Sample local german delights, along with a glass or two of black beer or cherry wine.
