Nearby Dusseldorf

Because of its location, a visit to Dusseldorf means you are never far away from some of Germany's most popular cities. A popular choice with visitors is Cologne, which contains some of the finest examples of High Gothic architecture set amid reconstructed old town. The magnificent Cologne Cathedral is known for its gilded medieval reliquary and sweeping river views.

Alternatively, there's the Augustusburg Palace, which has been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The site is home to one of the key works of Balthasar Neuman, while also containing one of the finest Rococo interiors in the world.

A visit to Dusseldorf therefore opens up a number of wonderful possibilities.

Longer drives

Head north from the city and you will eventually reach the Dutch border, which can help offer a new and exciting cultural experience.

The cultural hotspot of Amsterdam is around two-and-a-half years away from Dusseldorf, meaning it is easy to enjoy the canals, coffee shops, culture and history that comes with one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations.

Another possible option is that of Paris, which has always enjoyed a reputation of being one of the most popular destinations in the world, offering a cultural experience that is largely unrivalled. Driving here will take five-and-a-half hours, so if you do choose to make a stop in France's capital it would probably be best to maybe break up your journey.

Top attractions to see in Dusseldorf

Having the freedom that comes with being able to drive around in a hire car makes the whole process of enjoying everything this great city has to offer so much easier.

Altstadt

The Altstadt covers a full square kilometre of the city, and arguably has more on offer for visitors than any other part of the city. There is a strange but charming mixture of tranquility and a sense of hustle and bustle here, with a variety of attractive bars and restaurants that will have something on offer for everyone.

MedienHafen

If there was ever a perfect way of epitomising how the identity of Dusseldorf has changed in recent years, it is probably the harbour. Blessed by designs from some of the world's most famous architects, including Frank O. Gehry, David Chipperfield, Joe Coenen, Steven Holl and Claude Vasconi, the end result is one of the most iconic skylines in all of Germany.

Palace and Park Benrath

The beautiful garden palaces in the southern district of Benrath date back to the 18th century and were planned and built by Nicolas de Pigage. The Palace and Park Benrath retain plenty of splendour despite their age having been constructed as a maison de plaisance for Elector Carl Theodor.
