Dusseldorf Cruises, Germany

View Itineraries

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.

Beer tasting and sightseeing in Dusseldorf

Sightseeing and beer-drinking – that’s what’s on the cards today. Your guide will lead you around Dusseldorf, stopping at landmarks and breweries. You’ll start out in the uber-modern Ko-Bogen shopping district, which is something of an architectural icon. Then you’ll travel back a few centuries, as you make the short walk over to the old town. This place is often dubbed the Longest Bar in the World, due to its 300-odd bars and beer halls. Here, you can refresh with a tasting. You’ll get to try three different beers per person. And the local brew Altbier, is a must. This dark beer is only made in six breweries in Dusseldorf, but it’s stocked in pubs and shops throughout the city. Before or after your tasting, you can take in some of the sights, including time-stamped churches, the grand town hall and the Stadterhebungsmonument – a bronze sculpture, which tells the history of Dusseldorf.
