 Atmospheric square |
Burgplatz Altstadt Dusseldorf, NRW 40213 Germany |
Dominated by the historic Schlossturm tower, this busy square in the heart of the old town is filled with restaurants and cafés. Sitting here, watching the locals chat, visitors could be mistaken for thinking that they are in Tuscany or Umbria. Located next to the Rhine, Burgplatz makes the ideal starting point for a stroll along the promenade. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Dusseldorf's no. 1 concert hall |
Ehrenhof 1 Pempelfort Dusseldorf, NRW 40479 Germany +49 211 899 6123 http://www.duesseldorf.de/kult... |
This fascinating building, located next to Oberkassel Bridge on the Rhine, used to be a planetarium; but the only evidence left of its former incarnation is the dome-shaped roof. The Tonhalle is now the city's premier concert hall and hosts classical, jazz, rock and pop concerts by top international acts. Readings and recitals take place in the rotunda.

Oberkassel bridge |
Düsseldorfer Straße Dusseldorf, NRW Germany |
When the original Oberkassel bridge was destroyed during World War II, a temporary bridge was immediately built in its place. After the war, the decision was made to erect a completely new bridge, but it was impossible to pull the temporary bridge down first because of its immense importance to the Rhineland's transport system. With this in mind, the new bridge was built parallel to the old one, and was then used while the old bridge was dismantled. In April 1976, in front of tens of thousands of onlookers, the 12,000-tonne bridge was moved 50m downstream to the spot where the first bridge originally stood. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Joins the city to Neuss |
Neben dem Flughafen Dusseldorf, NRW Germany |
The Südbrücke came to life in 1951. It was the first fully welded, heavy weight steel bridge with such a large width. It adjoins the south of the city with Neuss. If you cross the bridge and look downstream you will see the magnificent railway bridge. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Telecom tower |
Stromstraße 20 Dusseldorf, NRW 40221 Germany +49 211 323 9053 |
Erected in 1982 and towering 234m over the city, the telecommunications tower is Dusseldorf's highest building. The revolving, glass-fronted 'Top 180' restaurant at 180m is a great place to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sun slowly set over the city. A viewing platform and a self-service restaurant are located one floor below. From the outside of the tower you can gaze up at the digital clock, which incidentally, is not particularly easy to read.
