Dusseldorf Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
Die Altstadt - the Old Town: It is the most popular place for having a local beer called Altbier which is a dark and bitter beer. Many of the pubs are located in old tiny houses and have a cosy atmosphere. A warning: you better do not visit the Old Town in the evening after the local ice hockey team - the DEG - had a match. The whole place will be incredibily crowded and it will be very hard to enter the pubs. The whole Old Town is a pedestrian area with many shops so you can combine your visit with a shopping trip. Hofgarten: It is a huge park just next to the Old Town with a lake, ducks and swans. Take your time to wander around and relax from shopping and sightseeing. Castle Benrath: Loca...Read More

Pegasus Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Quote:
This original greek restaurant is located outside the city center but only a short ride with the tram 703 to Kirchplatz. Niklas, the owner, and his crew will give you a warm welcome and offer you the specialty of the day - most likely fresh lamb. It is not one of the ordinary greek restaurant, so do not expect Gyros or Pita here, instead you can try his wonderful lamb or rabbit dishes. Reservations are necessary during the weekend.

Local Food Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Quote:
There are several breweries in Dusseldorf which are located in the Old Town like Uerige or Fuechschen, and they all offer local food. Be prepared that this food is more greasy and heavy. You can get roasted meat with potatoes and vegetable (among them Sauerkraut...) or bread with butter and cheese/cold meat. The atmosphere is more like that in a pub than a restaurant, but it is fun!

In the Old Town, you find many shops which sell all kinds of clothes, shoes and there is also a big CD-store called WOM World of Music on the second floor of the fancy clothes store called KULT. In the area of Shadowstrasse, you find the huge department stores like Kaufhof and Karstadt where you can buy anything from food or clothes and stationary to watches. There is also Dusseldorf's largest photo equipment store called FOTO KOCH in case you run out of film. If you want to buy clothes you can also go to C&A or Peek&Cloppenburg or to one of the many fashion boutiques in this area. In Königsalle the largest CD-store SATURN has just opened (2000) a new store which is definite...Read More
