Square, Plaza sights in Düsseldorf

  1. A

    Marktplatz

    Düsseldorf's quaint Altstadt, a mostly pedestrianised web of lanes hugging the Rhine, is rightly (in)famous for its raucous nightlife. Fortunately, it also brims with charming and quiet corners, a smattering of museums and historical sights, and good shopping. At its centre is the historic Marktplatz, framed by the Renaissance Rathaus (town hall; 1573) and accented by an equestrian statue of Jan Wellem.

  2. B

    Königsallee

    The main raison d'être of Düsseldorf's most famous thoroughfare, the Königsallee, called Kö for short, is to help you spend your hard-earned cash in its exclusive boutiques and department stores. Otherwise there's little of actual merit here, although the Art Nouveau façade of the Kaufhof department store and the landmark Triton fountain deserve a glance.
