Düsseldorf
is a city where everything is close together: just near the Königsallee
is the ‘Altstadt’, the old quarter of the city. With its 260
cosy pubs and home-brew taverns it is well known as ‘the longest
bar in the world’. But there is much more in this square kilometer:
world famous museums like the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen ...
jewels of baroque-style buildings like St. Andreas ... the Burgplatz,
which has received an award as one of the finest German squares from
the post-war years, opens up to the Rhine with the old castle tower,
within whose walls 2000 years of sailing romance are revived. Right
next to it is the Radschlägerbrunnen and Düsseldorf’s symbolic
city founder’s monument in the shadow of St. Lambertus, whose
crooked, twisted tower still
leads to speculations even today.
