Local Guide

If you're looking for Dusseldorf's pulsating nightlife, then the old town is the place to be. The quarter around Bolker Strasse is popular with nightowls as it offers a great variety of restaurants, pubs, bars and clubs. Shopping in the old town has its own unique flair: unlike the exclusive shopping boulevard Koe, it offers something for both the fashion trend-setters and bargain hunters. Exhausted from your city tour carrying shopping bags? Take a break and enjoy the panorama at the Rhine embankment. All year round you can see cyclists, strollers and skaters on the wide promenade. Numerous cafes and pubs offer a magnificent view of the Rhine.
