Landmarks in Düsseldorf

The Rhine Tower, Burgplatz & Castle Tower, St. Lambertus

Düsseldorf wears its landmarks with confidence: the 240.5-metre Rhine Tower is the tallest structure in North Rhine-Westphalia and shapes the skyline on the river, while the twisted spire of St. Lambertus and the Castle Tower on Burgplatz rise above the historic Old Town. Between the river and the Königsallee, the state capital combines Rhenish tradition with metropolitan glamour. These places tell the story of how Düsseldorf grew from a fishing village into a metropolis of fashion, art and trade fairs.
