Düsseldorf, set along the Rhine in North Rhine-Westphalia, is a city whose character is shaped by the river’s trade routes and a long tradition of art and fashion. The compact Altstadt gathers churches, breweries and the Marktplatz beneath the town hall, while the Rhine Embankment Promenade reconnects the historic centre with the water. Königsallee, the broad canal-side boulevard known locally as the Kö, remains the city’s principal shopping street. South of the centre, MedienHafen has remade former harbour docks into a district of offices, restaurants and contemporary architecture, including Frank Gehry’s Neuer Zollhof. The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen is a major public collection with sites in the city.
