Accompanying Social Program

Organized City Tour on Friday, September 26th, 2008

A ride in a luxurious coach takes you along the famous shopping boulevard Königsallee ('Kö') with its exclusive shops and malls, followed by a short walk through the legendary old town, the Altstadt - famous for its 260 inns and restaurants as the 'longest bar in the world'. You will learn that Düsseldorf has been a centre of fine arts for more than 200 years, that Paul Klee and Joseph Beuys have left their marks here, that the song of the Loreley would not even exist if it were not for Düsseldorf. Across one of numerous bridges, the tour takes you to the left bank of the river Rhine. From here you have a beautiful view of the panorama of the old town with its landmarks. Past the magnificent art nouveau and Wilhelminian style facades of the Oberkassel district, return to the right bank and to the highlight of your city tour: a bird's eye view of Düsseldorf from the top of the Rhine tower at 168 m height. Enjoy the fantastic view of the city and river - and all the way to Cologne cathedral if the weather is clear.
