Dusseldorf Highlights Audio Guide and Self Guided Tour

Dusseldorf's glamorous luxury boulevard, universally known as the Ko, where designer flagship stores line a tree-shaded canal fed by the little river that gave the city its name.

The beating heart of Dusseldorf, a tight knot of medieval lanes famous as 'the longest bar in the world'. Along Bolkerstrasse alone, more than fifty taverns, breweries and restaurants stand shoulder to shoulder.

The dignified heart of the Altstadt, where a bronze horseman guards a Renaissance town hall that has stood for nearly 450 years.

A rambling, wood panelled brewery tavern in the heart of the Altstadt where copper green Altbier is still poured straight from oak casks. This is the beating heart of Dusseldorf's beer culture, loud, smoky in spirit, and utterly beloved.

Duesseldorf's most beloved landmark is a puzzle in stone, a Gothic brick basilica whose slender spire twists toward the sky like a corkscrew. Legend blames the devil, but the truth lies in a batch of unseasoned oak.

A stout round tower standing alone above the Rhine, the last survivor of a vanished ducal palace. It is the beating historical heart of Dusseldorf's Burgplatz.

A sweeping riverside esplanade shaded by hundreds of plane trees, where the whole city comes to stroll, sip and watch the Rhine slide past. On sunny days its cafe terraces give Dusseldorf an almost Mediterranean glow.

Dusseldorf's tallest structure, a slender concrete needle rising over the Rhine, crowned by a revolving restaurant and the largest digital clock on Earth.
