20 Things to do in Düsseldorf, Germany Travel Guide Video Script:

Germany is a country that we’ve travelled to countless times, but for some reason, Düsseldorf is a city that had managed to elude us! Well, we recently spent a weekend there and let me tell you, this turned out to be one of our biggest travel surprises of the year. We arrived in Düsseldorf not really knowing what to expect, but over the course of 72 hours, we discovered this is a vibrant city with beautiful green spaces, a thriving art scene, architecture that’ll make your eyes pop, traditions worth exploring, and more restaurants than we had time for! Now let us take you on a whirlwind weekend tour of Duesseldorf and show you some of the possibilities.

And that’s a wrap for Düsseldorf! We honestly loved our time in the city and we can’t believe it took us this long to visit after so many trips to Germany. If you’re looking for a fun weekend escape that combines the best of urban living and nature, Duesseldorf is the perfect fit, and the food scene will also keep all you foodies happy.

Now you know the drill, if you have any travel tips or suggestions of other fun things to do in Duesseldorf, feel free to share those suggestions with travellers in the comments below.

Wishing you happy travels and until next time!

German expat here. After 15 years in Canada, I'll be moving to Düsseldorf next year. I'm still not 100% if it's the right decision to leave Canada, but your video really makes me look forward to living in Düsseldorf. Thank you putting this together, I really appreciate it.

[samuelsamenstrang]

thank you for portraying my hometown. :-)

Düsseldorf, definitely one of the most interesting city's in Germany!

[gajustempus]

though you went to Uerige, one of the really good breweries in Düsseldorf, you missed the Füchschen in the Ratinger Strasse - they've also got a wonderful beer, even own ice cream made of beer and some of the best classic german cuisine for an affordable price.
Right nearby is the Ratinger Tor - the original "entrance" to the city from the days of Napoleon. That's where he entered the city around 200 years ago.
You should also mention the Aquazoo, right next to the Nordpark with a huge japanese garden - maintained by the japanese community in Düsseldorf (the biggest japanese colony in Europe btw.)
If you're into skiing - just skip right over the rhine to Neuss and you'll find an indoor skiing track.
Or, if you prefer some more historic and classic history lessons, head down to Benrath and visit Schloss Benrath or the museum of nature and history right within the manor.
Back in the Altstadt, the best ice cream can be bought at Pia in the Kasernenstrasse, whereas the best hot chocolate or chocolate in general can be obtained at Gut&Gerne at the Burgplatz.
And, on the Königsallee, you'll find "Heinemann" - with delicious cake, the world's best champagne truffles. If you're into trying out the different kinds of bread, go and step by at "Hinkel" in the Altstadt. Both of these stores are well-known for their craftmanship and usage of only organic ingredients.
