Step by Step
Düsseldorf, known for its elegance and reputation as Germany's fashion capital, reveals a different charm when viewed from the Rhine River. On this one-hour sightseeing cruise, you'll pass by modern buildings and historical relics, all framed by the ever-bustling riverbanks.
As you leave the harbour, you'll see the MedienHafen, with its iconic buildings by Rafael Moneo and Frank Gehry, before heading towards the reminders of the past in the ruins of the old quay. The contrast between avant-garde architecture and history is evident every hundred metres.
As you go along, the audio guide will tell you interesting facts about the Altstadt (Old Town ), where Gothic churches and cobblestone squares stand alongside colourful façades. Don't miss the panoramic view of the Rheinuferpromenade, a riverside promenade lined with bars and terraces that comes alive at any time of day.
The cruise continues to explore the city skyline: historic bridges, traditional piers and the view of the Schlossturm, the former castle tower at the heart of the river, which stands as a witness to times gone by. Every stretch of the journey offers a new postcard for your camera.
To close, the boat gently returns to the starting point along the Promenade, leaving you time to stroll around on foot, have a drink on a terrace or simply reminisce about the views you've just taken in from the water.
