A cultural landscape thrives in the multiple layers of Düsseldorf, a world city with village charm. It has no problem keeping pace with large German metropolises like Munich and Berlin. Here comic, clowning traditions are at home as much as the avant garde.

It is hard to choose from its varied theater and music scenes or its internationally renowned museums and galleries. This is where great masters and poets such as Heinrich Heine and Robert Schumann created their works and visual artists left their stamp on the famous “Düsseldorf School.”
