Located in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Düsseldorf is one of Germany's largest cities and an international business centre. Perhaps its most famous export is the band Kraftwerk who are regarded as pioneers of the musical genre of electronica. Elsewhere the city is well-known for its fashion shows and fairs, with The largest Fair, one of Germany's biggest fun fairs attracting more than 4 million visitors annually, on the Rhine taking place each summer.
By hiring a car in Düsseldorf you'll be able to travel around the city simply and quickly without hassle. You'll find that the history of the city can be seen everywhere, and that no street should be left unexplored.
The city of Düsseldorf is packed full of culture. There are a great many museums and galleries on offer, including Goethe-Museum and the Film Museum, along with excellent theatres, such as Capitol Theatre, which is over 100 years old.
Those who visit the city looking for somewhere to relax and unwind may wish to head to the Botanical Garden of Düsseldorf, which is a modern garden featuring a unique dome, and over 6,000 different species of plant-life. There are plenty of different themed areas in the gardens, which will keep horticulturalists amused for hours.
If you're looking to explore slightly further afield, rent a car from Düsseldorf and head out to Cologne, Bonn or Brühl. Each town is just under an hour away from the city and all offer multiple must-see tourist venues.
