It occurs to me that despite having lived here for almost three months, I’ve shared relatively little about Düsseldorf. So while a more detailed account of being an expat in Germany (again) is in the works, I thought I’d show off a bit the city to help you get to know my new adoptive town.

The first thing you need to know about Düsseldorf is that it’s green.
Südpark – the city’s largest park
The next thing you need to know is that it’s pretty.
Dürenerstraße, in pretty Bilk
Really pretty.
Kruppstraße in multicultural Oberbilk
I mean, really really pretty.
Düsseldorfer Straße in chic Oberkassel
Düsseldorf is known in Germany as being pretty chic, too. Thanks to its Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (basically “shops”).
Der Kö – Germany’s premier shopping street
…old and new.
Amazing architecture – Düsseldorf’s latest shopping centre
But D-town is also quite traditional.
Dusseldorf Marktplatz
…with pretty and traditional houses.
Düsseldorfer Straße in chic Oberkassel
And to top it all off: a skyline which is quickly becoming my one of my favourites.
Neuer Zollhof in Dusseldorf’s Media Harbour
Come rain…
The rhine in Dusseldorf
…or shine.
