A local guide to Düsseldorf - the places I love, return to, and recommend.

About

A personal guide to Düsseldorf through the places, walks, cafés, culture and small rituals that make the city special.

The idea

Nicole Junkermann Düsseldorf Guide is a personal guide to the city: the cafés, walks, cultural places, shops, neighbourhoods and quiet corners that make Düsseldorf feel distinctive.

Not a commercial directory

This is not a travel agency, booking platform, paid guide, concierge service or sponsored recommendations site. It is a personal editorial collection of places worth returning to.

How places are selected

Places are selected for atmosphere, quality, design, setting, memory and the feeling they give to a day in the city. Some are well-known landmarks; others are everyday favourites.
