Enjoy your leisure time in Duesseldorf
Düsseldorf is the capital city of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia and is also known as the fashion capital of Germany. Düsseldorf is famous for its shopping opportunities on the Königsallee, a magnificent boulevard which is also fondly called the 'Kö' by locals. Here it is all about "to see and be seen". Many exclusive boutiques and lovely shops invite you to go on a long stroll. This is a boulevard worthy of the name. Chestnut and sycamore trees line the riverbank promenade on the right and left of the city moat, in which water from the Düssel stream flows.
The Old Town, situated between the Rhine and Heinrich-Heine-Allee, is the heart of Düsseldorf. Enjoy a discovery and gourmet tour in your leisure time and go with the flow in the narrow streets with their many pubs. There are more than 200 restaurants and inns in close proximity to each other. Whether you have an appetite for the finest French cuisine, a snack at a Korean restaurant or would like to head to 1001 Nacht café - you will find everything here. The Old Town is also a popular place for various outdoor and indoor events, such as the Düsseldorf Altstadt-Herbst, a well attended cultural festival that takes place in Autumn.
Düsseldorf also appeals to tourists and locals because of its wonderful location, directly on the River Rhine. When the weather is good, you should definitely include a stroll along the Rhine riverbank promenade in your free time.
Do you like to have a good overall view? There is no better view than from high up in the Rheinturm tower, the highest building in Düsseldorf at a height of 234 metres. From here you can enjoy a breath-taking view of the city and the modern Media Harbour. Those who become overwhelmed and hungry from the view can regain their strength in the revolving restaurant.
No other style and architect has defined Düsseldorf as much as the Gehry buildings by Frank O. Gehry. Trade marks are the irregular layouts, a bold mix of materials and oblique details. The Gehry buildings in the Media Harbour became Düsseldorf landmarks a long time ago. We highly recommend a visit there.
When you arrive back at the Sheraton Düsseldorf Airport Hotel in the evening, a flying visit to the visitor's terrace at the airport is worthwhile. In addition to business thoughts, you can daydream, get itchy feet and conjure up new ideas for your next family holiday.
