Highlights of the Rhenish carnivals
28 February–6 March 2019
Düsseldorf Helau! There's no holding back carnival fans in the
metropolis on the banks of the Rhine when the “fifth season” kicks
off. Revellers will be in their element from 11 November. At Düssel-
dorf’s carnival, people laugh, dance and party hard, as countless
carnival events are held throughout the season. One of the high-
lights of the carnival are the politically themed floats of satire artist
Jacques Tilly at the Rose Monday Parade on 4 March 2019.

METRO Marathon Düsseldorf Our sport 4
ts arena
28 April 2019
The METRO Marathon Düsseldorf is essentially a sightseeing
run. Runners will take in the world-famous Königsallee, pass the
modern MedienHafen – with buildings by such internationally re-
nowned star architects as Frank O. Gehry – and ready themselves
for the final sprint along the Rhine embankment promenade that
presents a view of the Schlossturm (palace tower) and Rhine Tower.
And because the finish leads them right to the Altstadt (Old Town),
the runners can celebrate their success with a cool “Alt” beer. In
2019 there is a premiere: the Düsseldorf Running Institution is
staging a half marathon for the first time.

cesses at Kunstakademie and other Düsseldorf museums.

and the MedienHafen you best get to know Düsseldorf.
Whoever travels around there gets to see what makes the
city so special. If you want to learn more about Düsseldorf,
simply take a city tour with our guides. This will enable you
to experience the most important sights and hear the best
stories about them. We offer different tours through the
city: on foot, by bus, ship or bicycle. Or also via Segway or
HotRod.

City tours & guided tours
Do you want to discover the city? Then join our public tours. If you come to
g
Düsseldorf with a group, you can naturally also book an individual group tour.
Our top classic offers are the Altstadt (Old Town) Tour, the Nachtwächter
(Nightwatchman) Tour and the MedienHafen Tour. We offer a city tour to suit
everyone – from the Altbier-Safari, a pub crawl to taste the traditional local
beer, right through to the Urban Art Walk.
Anyone interested in a different way of getting to know the city can participate
in a city tour with the red double-decker buses – 90 minutes on the HopOn
HopOff open-topped bus with seven interesting stops. But what would a visit to
Düsseldorf be without a ferry trip across the Rhine? We recommend the regular
departures from the Rhine embankment promenade in the modern Medien-
Hafen or in the historic Kaiserswerth.
