Gluten Free Dusseldorf, Germany: A Complete Guide

Last updated: January 2023

Düsseldorf is a city in western Germany, it’s the capital and second-largest city in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and it is the seventh-largest city in Germany.

Düsseldorf is known for its vibrant arts and culture scene, as well as its historic old town. The city is also a major center for business and finance, and is home to a number of international companies and trade fairs. Düsseldorf is located on the River Rhine and is known for its picturesque riverfront promenade and lively nightlife. Visitors to the city can enjoy a range of museums and galleries, as well as a variety of shops, restaurants, and bars.

Tipp: wander along the Rhine Embankment Promenade (Rheinuferpromenade), a promenade on the right bank of the Rhine. It bends from the Parliament down to the harbour and it gets sunshine all day long.
