For such a small city, Düsseldorf is a melting pot of art, fashion and design. On the surface it appears as a corporate business hub, but when you visit, you’ll see that’s simply not the case.
With more than 100 galleries and 26 museums, a renowned opera house and pioneering architecture, this fashion-forward city is full of culture. With stylish boutiques, unique cocktail bars and hip cafés, Düsseldorf has quickly become one Germany’s liveliest metropolises.
One of the most popular times to visit Düsseldorf is in the winter time, when the city’s Christmas Markets are sparkling, and the Düsseldorf Carnival kicks off. The beginning of Carnival takes place at the Town Hall on November 11th, but festivities don’t really begin until March. If you’re visiting during carnival, you can expect many street parties, parades, outrageous costumes and a buzzing atmosphere.
