Travel advices and warnings Duesseldorf
Shopping Dusseldorf is quite the shopping destination. Since the weather is not always the best in this part of Germany, keep in mind that you can complete all of your shopping in the indoor Schadow Arkaden http://www. schadow-arkaden. de/. Once a month look for " Verkaufsoffener Sonntag", as stores are typically closed on Sundays in Germany, new laws allow them to open for certain Sundays each month.
Culture From its beginnings as a village (dorf) on the tiny river Düssel, Düsseldorf gradually grew into an important regional capital. By the 20th century, it had become a prosperous city and it was targeted during WWII by the RAF, who bombed it to near-destruction.
After the war, reconstruction proceeded rapidly and the city became ‘the office of the Ruhr', acting as the administrative and financial centre for Germany's famous heavy engineering district, growing wealthy while keeping itself free from industrial blight.
Sights Düsseldorf will delight you with its hospitality and its lust for life, typical of the Rhineland. The Old Town and its more than 260 rustic pubs and restaurants give you a warm welcome. The trendy Media Harbour is equally attractive. Here you will find stylish bars and a good mix of listed industrial relics. International star architects have conceived some very exciting buildings. They lend a very particular atmosphere to this place. The metropolis also has a lot to offer for those who love to shop: major international designers are represented on Königsallee.
