The Altstadt, literally meaning ‘old town’, is the best place you could visit to feel the real Dusseldorf. Referred to the locals as the longest bar in the world, there are over 300 taverns and bars in the Old Town alone; no throat shall ever be deprived alcohol at the Altstadt! If you are planning on going on a drinking binge here start with the Altbier, a local beer brewed from an ancient traditional recipe.

Apart from the booze, the Altstadt has quite a few points of interest within its perimeter so be prepared to spend at least half a day here. One of the things you shouldn’t miss out on is the Marktplatz near the Rathaus (townhall) and the equestrian statue of Jan Wellem as well as the six baroque sculptures that are a part of a church’s premises.

• Heinr-Heine-Allee (Bus, tram and subway station)

• Mai Tai (Bar)
• Beef Brothers Dusseldorf (American food served)
• Lupo Pizzeria
