Guide to Düsseldorf
With history dating back to the 1100s, the capital of North Rhine - Westphalia is also a flourishing commercial centre and the fashion capital of Germany. It is full of great historical sights, museums, theaters, nightlife, and culture.
World famous museums such as the "Kunstsammlung", beautiful baroque style buildings like the St. Andreas, and the "Burgplatz", a city square with an old castle tower overlooking the Rhine, make Düsseldorf a highly desirable tourism destination in Germany.
This city is famous for its shopping streets and boulevards featuring stylish arcades and shopping centres. Take a stroll down the famous "Kö" high fashion street and see all the elegance of Düsseldorf.
The Carnival season begins in November and culminates in a long week of parading and celebration.
On the Sunday just before the big parade people meet in the streets and the citizens dance, chat or simply have fun wearing colourful costumes.
The winter months get rather cold and it sometimes snows, while the summer months are warm and mild. The winds are coming from the south and for the bigger part of the year, the wind force is calm and more frequent during the night-time.
"Fortuna Düsseldorf" is one of the best known regional teams in Germany with its significant winning history. Football is very popular in Düsseldorf, as well as other sports like ice hockey, besides many fitness and recreational sports.
