When to visit

The best time to visit Düsseldorf is during the spring and summer months, from April to August, when the weather is mild and pleasant. The city comes alive with outdoor events and festivals during this time, making it a great time to explore the city. However, if you prefer cooler temperatures and smaller crowds, the fall months of September and October are also a good time to visit.

Getting around

Düsseldorf has an efficient public transportation system, including trams, buses, and trains, making it easy to get around the city. Visitors can also rent bicycles to explore the city at their own pace. Taxis are readily available for shorter trips or late-night transportation. Walking is also a popular way to see the city, especially in the historic Altstadt (Old Town) area.

Traveller tips

When visiting Düsseldorf, be sure to try the local specialty, Altbier, a traditional beer brewed in the city. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the city's many museums and art galleries, such as the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen. Be prepared for some rain, as the city can experience frequent showers throughout the year. It's a good idea to learn a few basic German phrases to help you communicate with locals. Lastly, be sure to carry cash as some smaller shops and restaurants may not accept credit cards.
