What to see
OUT AND ABOUT AROUND
THE CITY
10. RHEINTURM
You can’t visit Düsseldorf
and not go to the top of
the Rheinturm, the city’s
icon. This 240.5-metre-high
telecommunication tower
offers fabulous views from its
observation deck at 168 metres,
and you can enjoy a meal in its
slowly-revolving restaurant at
172.5 metres.
11. NORDPARK
This is one of the most
popular parks in the city,
and it’s easy to see why. It’s
a beautiful expanse of wide
walkways, old trees, meadows,
fountains, sculptures, colourful
flowerbeds, an aquazoo and
a Japanese Garden. The park
also contains themed gardens
like the lily garden, which has
a pond surrounded by pillars
that provide welcome shade
in summer.
For fun
WHERE TO ENJOY A DRINK
AROUND DUSSELDORF
7. BRAUEREI FERDINAND
SCHUMACHER
If you like your beer,
independent Schumacher Alt is
the oldest brewery in production
in Düsseldorf. The beer is a deep,
rich amber, with flavours of citrus
and malt. Accompany it with
some typical German dishes as
the menu is typically German,
with meat products specially
prepared, such as goulash and
pike-perch.
8. SQUARE BAR
Vintage decor and the latest
mixology techniques have
combined to make the Square
the bar to have a drink in
the city, with its dark wood,
rich blue walls, an impressive
mirror behind the wooden
bar, and classic bar stools. The
exotic cocktail menu, though,
is anything but vintage and
is constantly changing, with
ingredients from around the
world. The Clash, for instance,
is made from Ceylon orange
tea-infused bourbon, Buddha’s
Hand cordial, Italian aperitif,
and French liqueur.
9. DOX BAR
Dox bar in the Hyatt Hotel at
Media Harbour has spectacular
views of the city’s skyline.
Classic cocktails are given a
modern twist, and there’s an
excellent choice of wines and
spirits. They also hold a number
of gin-tasting classes.
12. SCHLOSS BENRATH
This beautiful, 18th-century
Baroque pleasure palace was
built as a summer residence and
hunting lodge for the Elector
Carl Theodor. It sits at the heart
of 148 acres of stunning gardens
dotted with lakes, woodland,
sculptures and avenues of
lime trees. The palace is now a
museum that offers public tours.
