First thing that hits you, while landing in Dusseldorf in December, is the COLD!! But, having only 24 hours available to explore the city, we were willing to leave that detail behind! As it is a short distance city we were able to discover everything easily since everything is within a 10 minute walk.
So here it is the must do list if you're ever in Dusseldorf near Christmas time.
What to do:
- Start by visiting the Rhine river. Walk down the promenade and appreciate the view even in the freezing cold! If it's not too chilly for you take a cruise tour down the river. Beer on the boat is unlimited!
- Get lost in the alleys of the old part of town, Altstadt, also known as the longest bar in the world. As you might have guessed this is where the city's nightlife is.
- Visit the famous Koningsallee shopping street and spoil yourself! (hope your credit cards are full)
- Definitely visit every single Christmas market you can find! They are literally everywhere and sell everything, from food and drinks to Christmas ornaments and crafts.
Eat and drink:
- Every type of sausage you can! In a bun, in curry sauce..
- Drink mulled wine and hot chocolate from the Christmas markets. (you can keep the mug as a souvenir)
- Must try the local Alt beer! There are five microbreweries in the old town.
- Schnitzels and a pretzels, this is after all the place to eat them!!
So here you have it my dearest traveler, Dusseldorf in just 24 hours! If you're planning a visit soon i hope you get wonderfully lost in this beautiful city!! x
