Düsseldorf – Some info

General info:

If you travel by public transport, definitely buy a Dusseldorf Welcome Card before you set off. The card costs 9 euros for 24 hours and gives you unlimited public transport use plus free entry to many attractions. (For example, the entrance to Aquazoo is free; otherwise adult entry is 7euros.)

To visit:
  • Rhein Promenade (3,1 km from Hauptbahnhof)
  • Rhein Tower (TV Tower)
  • Altstadt (Old Town)
  • Japanese Garden (Kaiserswerther Strasse 390)
  • Loebbecke-Museum und Aquazoo (in the same area with the Japanese Garden), with beautiful tanks of amazing fish and aquatic creatures (and not only).
  • Film Museum
  • Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen (Grabbeplatz 5, http://www.kunstsammlung.de/): paintings, sculpture and an unique museum devoted entirely to glass works
  • Düsseldorfer Senf (Berger Straße 29). Düsseldorf is not just the city of Alt beer - it is also a mustard city. The mustard museum was opened in 2004.
