About Dusseldorf

Fashionable, wealthy, cultured, Düsseldorf is a city where things happen. The city is made up of an alluring mix of gleaming city buildings, wonderful avant-garde architecture of the redeveloped harbour, and the historic Rhine-side quarter. Our Guru's recommendations of the best places to stay in Düsseldorf are dotted across these locations and are mostly sleek contemporary offerings, perfect for a chic city break.

This is a shopping mecca. The boutique-lined boulevard, Königsallee, is the place to see and be seen. While, for the young and hip the less well-known boutiques in Altstadt, Lorettostrasse, and Flingern are a real draw. If you're serious about buying art or antiques, then head over to Carlstadt.

Dubbed the Media Harbour, or MedienHafen, the new harbour development is home to some of Düsseldorf's best modern architecture, including three buildings by Frank Gehry. But Düsseldorf's mostly modern look isn't everywhere, pockets of the city's beautiful old Art Nouveau architecture survived the war, and one of the best of these is in the Oberkassel district.

The city boasts a wealth of cultural offerings. The largest is probably the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, which occupies several buildings.

Don't forget that the city is a busy destination year-round for both business and leisure travellers, so if you want to guarantee a room in one of the best places to stay in Dusseldorf, you can't leave it till the last minute.
