Tonhalle Düsseldorf

Start the tour at the highest building in the city, the Rhine Tower.

On top of that, you'll get plenty of Rhenish charm and humor from your guide. We do not offer an art-historical city tour, but a relaxed tour led by the guide with a lot of heart & local color (only German-speaking).  The tour begins with a ride along the Rhine. It takes you across the spacious Burgplatz square with the castle tower. Keep close to the Rhine to reach the Oberkassel Bridge and the venerable St. Lambertus Church in the old town with its leaning tower. From there, we explore Düsseldorf's living room, the Andreas Quartier. This is where living, art, culture and cuisine are beautifully combined. Continuing past the K20 art collection, the route leads us through the Hofgarten towards Kö-Bogen II, which currently has Europe's largest green façade. After a detour to the Schauspielhaus, we take a look at the Drei-Scheiben-Haus, an impressive piece of contemporary architecture from the 1960s. The route leads us slowly back through the new pedestrian shopping paradise Schadowstraße towards the Rhine promenade at a relaxed pace back to the starting point.
