Things to do in Düsseldorf
Summer is a lovely time of year to visit Düsseldorf. The trees are green, the sky is blue and flowers are in full bloom. It’s a great time for photos, taking strolls through the parks, exploring historic sites and shopping.
Benrath Palace is a 200-year-old palace built as a summer home and hunting lodge for the Elector Carl Theodor and boasts a spectacle of baroque architecture and interiors. With its 60-hectare gardens, it’s thought of as a rare example of late rococo Gesamtkunstwerk in Europe. Three gardens offer geometric and romantic ambiance.
