The main information about the city:
It is the capital city of North Rhine-Westphalia, the most populous state of Germany. It has 629,047 inhabitants (December 31, 2022), and it is the second largest city in the state (after Cologne). Düsseldorf is a trade fair city and the headquarters of many listed companies, including the DAX-listed Henkel group. It has the highest turnover for auditing, management consulting and clothing fashion as well as an important financial and stock exchange center. It has also a leading location for the art trade in Germany. The city is also home to 22 universities.

How long to stay:
Our advise is to stay 2-3 days.

Where to eat: -Takumi 4th Loretto (Düsseldorf and its surroundings have the 3rd-largest Japanese community in Europe and the largest in Germany)

- The central station seems to be the worst place in the city, we advise to go there as fast as possible only to take a train. 

- The central street of Altstadt (Bolkerstraße) is to avoid as well.

Prague: The Dancing House - How Is It Inside?

In the first episode of Walks in Prague we invite you to stay one day in the world-famous Deconstructivist building and the most controversial building in Prague with great historical significance – the Dancing House designed by Vlado Milunić and Frank Gehry on the Rašín Embankment completed in 1996. A few years ago the Rašín Embankment was revitalized according to the project by Petr Janda / Brainwork Architects . It focused on the reconstruction of 20 vaults in the riverside wall (originally ice storage areas) converting them into cafes, clubs, studios, workshops, galleries, a library branch, space for neighbour meetings, and public toilets. Nowadays, the riveside area is a vibrant and beautiful place of the Prague Riverfront. Follow our Instagram
