For many Düsseldorfers – and indeed, for all visitors – a day on the Rhine is like a holiday. The café terraces have been wiped, polished and prettied up in readiness for the outdoor season. The city is perfectly primed for life in the open air as well, with numerous events such as the Japan Day Düsseldorf/NRW, the METRO Group Marathon Düsseldorf, or sightseeing options that are all ideal for joining in. We wish you an action-packed spring and look forward to your visit.

EVENTS

Jazz Rally

Rea Garvey, a popular coach from the casting show “The Voice of Germany” will be making the airport rock this year…more


Japan Day Düsseldorf/NRW


On 2 June, Düsseldorf will again be transformed into “Japan on the Rhine”. With various activities such as manga drawing, trying on kimonos, eating sushi, and Japanese musical performances, visitors will get a great taste of Far Eastern atmosphere. The crowning moment of the event will once again be the breathtaking fireworks display. Once darkness has fallen, the master pyrotechnicians from Japan will be conjuring up spectacular pictures in the sky and bringing a smile to every face...more


Düsseldorf extends round trip programme


It’s time for convertibles – and the HopOn HopOff sightseeing tour buses are adapting to the spring weather too. From 1 April, they’ll be out on the roads with the top down, and will be running more frequently. You’ll also get plenty of fresh air with the two-hour guided walk through the Altstadt (including a panorama boat trip) which will be operating daily from 6 April. Those who are mainly interested in seeing the sights should try the “Düsseldorf all-inclusive” package: This combination of sightseeing tour by bus and on foot includes a trip up the Rhine Tower and will be showing Düsseldorf’s city centre from its best side as of 6 April. More tour information is available here…more

Romanticise yourself! Schumannfest Düsseldorf


Robert Schumann is regarded as the German romantic par excellence, and Düsseldorf as THE Schumann city. The composer lived here for three-and-a-half years and was the principal conductor of the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra. Now he once more plays godfather to a special music festival – the Schumannfest Düsseldorf from 24 May to 4 June. Under the artistic direction of Michael Becker, the Director of the Tonhalle, and the dramaturg Beate Schüler, the festival will be creating a new picture of Schumann…more

Gundlach, Thomas Seelig, Andrea Holzherr and Werner Lippert also gave their recommendations. This has created an overview exhibition showing the works of around 40 artists…more



ROCK/POP/CLASSIC

Nena: live & unplugged


With evergreen hit singles such as “99 Red Balloons”, “Leuchtturm”, “Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann” or “Wunder geschehen”, there is barely anybody who can touch Nena as one of the few singers from the Neue Deutsche Welle (New German Wave) to have remained just as popular in the 21st century. No wonder, given that Nena constantly surprises her fans with new ideas and styles. At “Nena: live and unplugged” everything will be different: sparse instrumentation, and lots of acoustic music. You can see her at the Mitsubishi Electric Halle on 27 April. Tickets are available here… more


Philipp Poisel
