Architecture sights in Düsseldorf

  1. A

    Rheinuferpromenade

    Burgplatz marks the beginning of the Rheinuferpromenade, whose cafés and benches fill with people in fine weather, creating an almost Mediterranean flair. It follows the Rhine all the way to the Rheinpark and the 240m Rheinturm (Rhine Tower) with a viewing platform and revolving restaurant at 172m. Just beyond are the Landtag (the state parliament) and the old harbour, which has been redeveloped into the Medienhafen (Media Harbour), a spectacular showcase of contemporary architecture.

    Medienhafen

    This once-dead old harbour area has been reborn as the Medienhafen, an increasingly hip quarter filled with architecture, restaurants, bars, hotels and clubs. Once-crumbling warehouses have turned high-tech office buildings and now rub shoulders with bold new structures designed by celebrated international architects, including Frank Gehry.

    Rathaus

    The 1573 Rathaus is built in Renaissance style and neatly frames the historic Marktplatz.
