Shopping Along the Königsallee
Exclusivity and luxury can be found in every shop front along the shopping streets of Dusseldorf. The Königsallee is a luxury shopping promenade in the center of Dusseldorf that has become a household name among wealthy shopping tourists.
This is the most-frequented luxury retail street in Germany and stretches for one kilometre from Friedrichstadt to the Hofgarten (the city’s main park). Here shopping enthusiasts can find all the designer fashion they may be looking for.
This magnificent boulevard is one of the main reasons that Dusseldorf has gained a reputation as one of the most elegant shopping metropolises in the world.
The Old Town
The heart of Düsseldorf, and bursting with trendy restaurants, bars, and breweries, the Old Town is a great place to spend time. The narrow streets of the Old Town stretch between the Rhine and Heinrich-Heine-Allee.
There’s plenty of Düsseldorf’s history to take in as you’re also discovering the contemporary food scene – by wandering around the maze of streets you’ll find historic buildings and cultural highlights such as St. Lambertus church, the Burgplatz, the historic City Hall and the Jan Wellem equestrian statue.
The Rhine promenade on the edge of the Old Town is a picturesque area to spend the afternoon after you’ve finished shopping, sightseeing and eating.

Experience a Luxury Hotel
Being the modern city that it is, there are many luxury hotels in Dusseldorf, and a luxury vacation starts with booking the right type of hotel.
Most of the hotels you’ll be interested in are located on the beautiful Rhine and offer stunning river views as well as a pleasant atmosphere. Though if you’re looking for a specific recommendation, the Breidenbacher Hof is one of the most famous in the city, and has rightfully earned a place among Europe’s top hotels.
For more than two hundred years since their grand opening in 1812, the Breidenbacher Hof has been centrally situated on the Königsallee, and become known as the ultimate address in luxury and hospitality.

We’ve been to a few spa’s but Vabali blew us away. Such a great feeling walking around here. Was my mom’s first time going to a wellness and she was amazed how relaxing a day here can be. Definitely coming back. Friendly staff as well!
Königsallee has very nice views and nice to walk around and have something to drink. Lots of high end expensive stores. I am not into shopping but I enjoyed the walk and views.
InterContinental D’dorf is timeless and dashing.
Capella’s Breidenbacher Hof is Düsseldorf’s best hotel for ultra-Luxury.
The old town is by no means large, but if you’re planning a night out there are more nightspots than you could ever hope to visit.
If you truly want luxury head 60 minutes out of the city – the Kasteel Wittem is divine. It is a magnificient medevial castle, surrounded by an ancient moat and a picturesque park, The web site pictures do not do it full justice.
We stayed in the round tower room that had a lace-curtain-enclosed bed and a huge bath with tub (big enough for two) that overlooked the moat where black and white swans floated.
It’s easy to get to, so we spend quite a lot of time in Düsseldorf – only an hour’s flying time from London.
The Kö is one of the glitziest shopping streets in Europe. Glad to see it made this round up post.
We enjoy Dusseldorf for the art. There are so many galleries and museums, but a step above the rest is Museum Kunstpalast.
Quite surprised that in a post on luxury experiences you didn’t mention skiing. The Jever Skihalle has a 330-meter-long slope, a terrain park, a toboggan run and Alpine restaurants, there’s an onsite four-star hotel and spa so you can make a weekend of it.
