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.

Originally a Danish city, Malmö is located in the far south of Sweden, in the Skane province. This seaside city guarantees something for everyone with a charming blend of Old-Town history and a modern cosmopolitan feel.
For a taste of the city's rich history, visit Malmohus Castle and experience Scandinavia's oldest surviving Renaissance castle. Once a place of grand balls, the castle is now home to several museums, including an art museum, the City Museum, and an aquarium and zoo.
If you're more interested in a shopping experience, take a walk down Sodergatan, the city's main shopping street, running from Stortogert to Gustav Adolf Torg. Along with its excellent shops and boutiques, enjoy great places for food and drink and experience traditional Swedish fika (coffee break).
Malmö has ample travel connections nationally as well as internationally. Fly to either Copenhagen Kastrup or the smaller Malmö Airport for travel by air. Long-distance trains from around Sweden, as well as international routes, stop at Malmö Centralstation. Nettbuss and FlixBus services also stop in the city, at the Norra Vallgatan.
