It is hard to imagine that once this major German political and economic center was just a small fishing village. Today, the population of Düsseldorf is about 600,000 people, making it the seventh largest city in Germany.
And it all began with a small settlement on the banks of the Rhine. By the way, if you're wondering where Düsseldorf is located on the map of Germany, you will see that it is situated in the west of the country. Düsseldorf is not just a city, but also the capital of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Most tours in Düsseldorf start with the "longest bar counter in the world," which is a walk through the Old Town. This is followed by a visit to Königsallee, the most popular street in the city. It is impossible to pass by the numerous pubs and restaurants, shops and boutiques.
