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.

Dusseldorf City Tour With Rhine Tower

From churches to futuristic office buildings, you’ll see why Dusseldorf is the epitome of old meets new on this tour. You’ll explore the city by bus and foot today, ticking off plenty of sights. You’ll zip down Konigsallee – the fancy shopping avenue where supermodel Claudia Schiffer was first scouted. And you’ll drop in on the Japanese Quarter, known as Little Tokyo on the Rhine. You’ll also get to see the surviving tower of the city’s former castle, along with churches, breweries and historic sculptures in the old town. Next, you’ll fast-forward to the 21st century in Media Harbour, where offices designed by American architect Frank Gehry steal the spotlight. The three twisted buildings of Neuer Zollhof feature brick, mirror and bright-white façades. Later, you’ll go from twisted to tallest, as you head up the 240-metre-high Rhine Tower for 360-degree views over the city.
