Dusseldorf river cruises, Germany

What's great about Dusseldorf river cruises?

Dusseldorf is one of the most modern cities that flank the Rhine. At first glance it looks very business-orientated, with its banking, advertising and fashion industries recognised globally. Spend a few hours exploring, though, and you’ll discover an old quarter where pork knuckles are served with beer, and archaic theatres are set back off the pavement. Also of note is Dusseldorf harbour. It’s one of the city’s latest developments, and is recognised for its impressive avant-garde architecture – like Claude Vasconi’s Grand Bateau, built to resemble an ocean liner. Dusseldorf’s metroline’s an arty masterpiece, too – it’s decorated with geometric shapes and projections of planets and even has some LED walls.
