Besides shopping on the Kö, there is one thing you should definitely do when visiting Düsseldorf – take a detour to the famous Düsseldorf Rhine promenade, where you will find many fresh-air fanatics and sun worshippers at any time of the year. Especially on summer evenings, it can get a bit crowded here. Whether you visit one of the many events on the banks of the Rhine or just enjoy the sunset on Düsseldorf’s Rhine steps – the Rhine promenade is a centre of attraction for young and old and stands for Rhenish quality of life. This was considerably improved by the relocation of the parallel road traffic in the new Rhine bank tunnel in the 1990s.
