Thanks to its network of motorways, two harbours, two ICE long-distance railway stations and one of Germany’s biggest international airports, Düsseldorf is easy to reach from all corners of the world. The Rhine-side city effortlessly combines Rhenish joie de vivre with a cosmopolitan outlook. Welcome to Düsseldorf!
