City Information
Düsseldorf

Düsseldorf is located between Essen and Cologne in Germany and is known for its booming fashion industry. Arts, music, and culture thrive in this welcoming and multicultural destination.
Altstaft, the city's old town, fills its narrow streets with relaxed cafes and chic bars. If you're lucky enough to visit in the winter, Düsseldorf is home to one of Germany's best Christmas markets, hosted at Marktplatz.
To experience Düsseldorf's culture, you can opt to watch a performance in an opera or a theatre. Two of the top theaters are the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus and Roncalli’s Apollo Variete. Then, when the opera makes you feel sufficiently posh, you'll be ready to enter the pink, opulent palace of Schloss Benrath.
While nearly every corner in Düsseldorf is filled with shops to catch your eye, the most exclusive and luxury shops congregate on one street: Königsallee. However, if you prefer digging through thrift shops and poking into local boutiques, Lorettostrasse might be more your style.
Düsseldorf is home to one of the largest airports in the area, with flights to many international destinations. To view the German countryside from the ground, take a Deutsche Bahn train or a bus offered by several companies that run routes throughout Europe.

Although meme conspiracy theories suggest this city does not exist, Bielefeld is a real city that, in fact, has existed since 1214! Bielefeld is located close to the Teutoburg Forest, so lace up your hiking boots for some seriously scenic walks and hikes. History-lovers might get more of a thrill at the Sparrenburg Castle, a fortress dating to the 13th century and mainly sporting 16th-century architecture. Also visit the Altstädter Nicolaikirche, the oldest church in the city, overlooking Alter Markt. This central square offers many cafés with outdoor seating and is the site of Bielefeld's Christmas market each December.
If you're a football fan, plan to see the Bundesliga team DSC Arminia Bielefeld play at the SchücoArena stadium. Luckily this and many other spots in the city are connected via the Stadtbahn light rail system.
To reach destinations beyond city limits, Deutsche Bahn trains are your best bet for efficient, comfortable travel throughout Germany. Most trains arrive at Am Bahnhof 1 station, and intercity buses also operate through this central station. You can catch a bus in Bielefeld headed to nearby Münster, Hanover, Dortmund, and more.
