THE UEX SUMMER 2025 – DÜSSELDORF – THE HUB IN THE WEST

Düsseldorf in summer

Düsseldorf in summer is a true paradise for culture and nature lovers. The Rhine promenade offers a breathtaking backdrop for leisurely strolls, while the green parks such as the Hofgarten or the Nordpark invite you to relax and linger. On the Rhine, you can discover the city from a different perspective on a boat trip or a leisurely bike ride along the river. Düsseldorf also has a lot to offer culturally: The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen art collection impresses with modern art, and the Museum Kunstpalast displays masterpieces from different eras. The opera house and numerous theaters provide a first-class cultural program. The old town, with its historic buildings and the famous “longest bar in the world”, attracts visitors with a variety of bars, restaurants and cafés where they can enjoy the regional specialty “Altbier”. The Rhine terraces and the many beer gardens in particular are perfect places to end the summer evening in a relaxed atmosphere. Düsseldorf combines culture, nature and culinary delights in a unique way – ideal for a varied summer vacation.
