Shopping, partying and relaxing in Düsseldorf

Known across Europe as a shopping mecca, Düsseldorf also has lush, quiet parks and the "longest bar in the world". Few shopping streets in Germany are more upscale than Königsallee with its quaint newspaper stands, cast iron lanterns and tree-lined canal in the middle. Chanel, Armani, Tiffany and Bucherer are just a few of the names dotting this boulevard. Germany's most frequented shopping street is located nearby: Schadowstraße. Both streets are only a stone's throw from the centrally located IntercityHotel Düsseldorf. Recreation in parks and on the Rhine The atmosphere is lively at the world's longest bar, a collection of pubs stretching from Düsseldorf's Old Town to the Rhine. Zum Füchschen, an alehouse and microbrewery, brews its own tasty Altbier. The sprawling Hofgarten and Ständehaus parks are cool oases for relaxing after shopping and sightseeing. High above the city stands the Rhine Tower.
