Düsseldorf: Old Town Guided Walking Tour in German

About This Experience

Prepare for a tour to learn about the culture, 700-year-old history, and nightlife of Düsseldorf's old town, which covers just half a square kilometre. Discover over 260 bars, clubs, cafés, and restaurants here, which is why it’s often called “the longest bar in the world.” Explore local landmarks, from old churches and market squares to modern museums and galleries. On a guided tour, locals will share stories like the tradition of the cartwheel, the legacy of Elector Jan Wellem, or the festive awakening of Hoppeditz during Carnival. The nearby Andreas Quartier shows how old buildings can be used in new ways. The tour ends with a walk along the Rhine promenade, where you can view the river, bridges, and meadows.
