The heart of the city pulsates in the Old Town. It is a pleasure centre where both bustle and tranquility and history and modern life mingle in harmony with one another. The little lanes with their narrow-gabled town houses, old churches and Art Nouveau facades are home to around 260 pubs, gourmet and international restaurants, discotheques and night clubs, which attract a highly cosmopolitan clientèle.

The Rheinufer Promenade is particularly exciting to visit and has in a very short time become the most popular meeting point for Düsseldorfers and their guests.

Benrath Palace is one of Düsseldorf`s main attractions where the parkscape and architecture harmonize in an astoundingly manner. It is not only considered the most significant Baroque palace on the Lower Rhine, but is also regarded as one of the most beautifull palaces of its period in the whole of Europe.
