Schlosspark Benrath

The Schloss Benrath is surrounded by a lush green baroque park that is stylistically designed with a circular alley and two crossing diagonal alleys. Dating back to the 17th-Century, the park was designed for the amusement of Charles Theodor, who was the Elector Palatine and his spouse Countess Palatine Elisabeth Auguste of Sulzbach. Stretching to an area of 61 hectares (150 acres), approximately 45 hectares (111 acres) is regarded as a natural reserve. A former hunting park, the park houses over three hundred species of beetles and over eighty species of birds.

Rheinuferpromenade

A masterpiece of modern engineering, Rheinufer Promenade was newly designed in 1995 to help ease traffic congestion in the city center. With pedestrian and cycle paths stretching 0.9 miles (1.5 kilometers) along the bank of the Rhine from Oberkasseler Bridge to the State Parliament, the street is the perfect place for a relaxing stroll. Rheinufer Promenade has also turned into a popular meeting place, lending the area a holiday-like feel on warm summer evenings. Numerous bars have outdoor terraces—the perfect place to sample an altbier (black beer) and watch the sun slowly set over the Rhine.

Schloss Benrath

Located in the village of Benrath, a suburb of Dusseldorf established in 1929, Schloss Benrath was erected between 1755 to 1770, in the middle of a spacious park bordered by the Rhine. The castle was constructed by order of the electoral Prince Carl Theodor von Pfalz-Sulzbach. Designed by Nicolas de Pigage, the residence is a fine example of the transition from late baroque to classical architecture. Its striking, salmon pink façade is embellished with an ornately carved grey colored roof. The main building contains some exquisite furniture and 18th-century paintings, while the west wing is home to the Benrath Natural History Museum. Visitors can take guided tours of this fascinating castle to gain a deeper insight into the history of Benrath.

Stadterhebungsmonument

On the occasion of the 700th city jubilee in 1988, the home team 'Düsseldorfer Jonges' founded this monument commemorating the history of Dusseldorf. The helmets and breastplates in the monument are a reminder of the battle of Worringen in which Dusseldorf participated and became an independent city, whereas the proud mountain lion symbolizes the market rights acquired in 1288.

Marktplatz

Marktplatz, which is located in the middle of Dusseldorf is a prominent square that has historical significance. Dating back to the 14th century, this square was used as the public market for many centuries. This square is now rarely used as a market and is more of a historical and cultural attraction visited by tourists in large numbers. Found in the center of this square is the Jan-Wellem equestrian statue which was unveiled in 1711 by Italian sculptor Gabriel Grupello. Also situated here is the town hall of Dusseldorf.

Königsallee

When it was built in 1804, the 'Kö', as it is affectionately known to locals, was situated in a slightly run-down area on the edge of the city. As Dusseldorf grew, Königsallee became more central and things really took off after a face-lift at the start of the 20th Century. An underground station was opened, the pavements were widened and the street lamps, kiosks and telephone boxes were restored. Nowadays the boulevard is Dusseldorf's number one shopping street and has enhanced the city's reputation as being one of Europe's major fashion centers.
