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.
Kehl
Kehl is a town in the southwestern region of Germany, on the banks of the river Rhine. This scenic town is a gateway to the larger city of Strasbourg, France, on the opposite bank of the river. Several bridges connect the two cities, but the Passerelle des Deux Rives is the one to cross if you can. This pedestrian-only bridge starts in the beautiful Rhine Promenade in Kehl, connecting to another park in Strasbourg. While the bridge offers nice river views, the Weißtannenturm Kehl is an observation tower that offers panoramic views of the entire town.
Kehl is a small town, but its location near the border between France and Germany means it offers a great mix of traditional German and French cuisine. The most notable eateries in the city are Alte Zunft Kehl and Zur Traube.
Deutsche Bahn trains provide most ground travel to and from Kehl, with routes to Cologne, Berlin, Munich, and more. FlixBus offers bus service throughout Germany and to other countries in Europe.
