Schloss Benrath
No. 5 of Best Things to Do in Rhine-Ruhr

Schloss Benrath

6.2
4.7/5
44 reviews
Benrat Palace was built by Duke Carl Theodore in 1755-1769. It covers an area of more than 60 hectares and is the most beautiful Rococo building in Europe. There is a small lake in front of the palace. The pink palace is reflected on the mirror-like lake. Swans are leisurely swimming in the lake. Standing by the lake and looking up, they seem to be in a painting. Different from the Chinese palace garden design, the palace buildings actually only take up a small part of the huge area, and the rest are French gardens - manicured woods, towering white statues, long water channels.Dusseldorf · 10 km from downtown
Rheinuferpromenade
No. 6 of Best Things to Do in Rhine-Ruhr

Rheinuferpromenade

4.6/5
65 reviews
Rheinuferpromenade is a waterfront promenade with a total length of approx. 1.5 km. In the 1990s, the road along this shoreline was moved into an underground tunnel, and the embankment was redesigned as a pedestrian space, becoming a waterfront destination shared by locals and visitors alike. The promenade is divided into two levels: the upper level is a tree-lined path flanked by rows of plane trees, with benches along the way. From the grand steps at Burgplatz or beside the old Rhine water gauge, you can descend to the lower embankment at water level, where the boat docks are located. On a clear day, sitting by the railing and looking out, you can enjoy views of the opposite bank, the iron bridge across the river, and passing boats. Watching the sunset while feeling the river breeze in the evening is a signature experience. Extending along the river, it passes by the City Hall and ends at the State Parliament building, the Rhine Tower, and the Media Harbour, connecting a beautiful waterfront panorama from the historic district to the modern harbor area.Dusseldorf · 305m from downtown
Konigsallee
No. 8 of Best Things to Do in Rhine-Ruhr

Konigsallee

4.5/5

Konigsallee is a tree-lined shopping boulevard with a total length of approx. 1 km. A canal fed by the Düssel River runs through the center, where chestnut trees line the banks, swans and wild ducks often swim, and small bridges with wrought-iron railings span the water, connecting the walkways on both sides. The two sides have distinct roles: the east side is home to numerous brand flagship stores and exquisite window displays, while the west side is dominated by office buildings, banks, and historic hotels. Standing on the west side to admire the tree-lined waterfront view on the opposite bank is very photogenic. The history of this boulevard is also quite colorful: it was originally named Chestnut Avenue. In 1848, when the Prussian King Frederick William IV passed by in a carriage, protesting citizens threw objects at him. To make amends with the King, the street was officially renamed Konigsallee in 1851, and this historical anecdote remains a popular cultural background story to this day.Dusseldorf · 767m from downtown

The market square is located in the center of the old town, next to the Heine House and the King's Road. The square is very small, and the old building next to it is the City Hall of Dusseldorf, which is much smaller than the city halls of other cities in Germany. In the center of the square stands the bronze equestrian statue of Grand Duke John William carved in 1711, who made Düsseldorf a famous cultural city.Dusseldorf · 229m from downtown

Large green area and pink rococo palace. When we are there at least 3 wedding photos work was there. The large landscape and well maintained trees and flowers creates a good scene for photos and also the historic building, artificial water and sculptures keeps the feeling of place garden.

Our home is right on the banks of the Rhine in Düsseldorf, so we come to this park and walk along the river every day. The banks of the Rhine are both beautiful and useful. There are various activities here every Sunday, sometimes food gatherings, sometimes antique car exhibitions, which are quite fun.

Düsseldorf's Königsallee is famous for the fashion showrooms and luxury retail stores along its two sides. It is by far the busiest upscale shopping street in Germany.

The Market Square is located in the center of the old city. It is much smaller than the town hall squares in other German cities. There are many pubs near the square, and the beer of many old shops has won awards in Europe or Germany. You may as well pick one to taste the famous local beer.
