The city of Dusseldorf is in many ways the hidden treasure of Germany. Lying on the banks of the Rhine in the Westphalia region, Dusseldorf is home to around a million people, brilliant shopping centres, and a vast selection of bars and restaurants.
Offering great weather during the summer months, and a location in the centre of the main wine making region of Germany, Dusseldorf is a great place to base yourself on a holiday in Germany, and has any number of top attractions nearby.
Something that no visitor to Dusseldorf should miss out on is the chance to take the lift to the top of the famous Rheimturm observation tower in order to see the incredible views. On a clear day, the sight of the city spreading out towards the rolling countryside, and the spires of nearby Cologne cathedral on the horizon are quite literally breathtaking.
Amongst the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, in nearby Bottrop, you can visit the famous Warner Brothers Movie World theme park, where there are many white-knuckle rides to experience, and thrilling shows to enjoy. Nearby, another great theme park known as PhantasiaLand is also a popular draw, and serves up a variety of experiences that ensure its universal appeal.
