Nightlife
Nightlife in Dusseldorf is centred around the city’s old town, Altstadt, which is crammed with bars and pubs. Several of these establishments are also breweries which produce Dusseldorf’s famous altbier – any evening trip to Altstadt is sure to see you sampling this Westphalian icon. In fact, standard practice in many of the bars is for the waiters to replenish your empty glass with a fresh one, regardless of whether you asked for another.
Bolkerstrasse, the old town’s main street, is the place to come for bouncing bars and endless altbier, but it’s easy to find a more sophisticated side to Dusseldorf’s nightlife, too, with several Latin and jazz clubs in the side streets. The high-end shopping street of Königsallee is the place to head for a sophisticated night out, with a string of top-end nightclubs playing host to top international acts and DJs.
The southern district of Bilk is popular among young people and students and is home to some great nightclubs, bars and late-night cafés as well as a selection of beautiful old churches and botanical gardens. The regular night-time flea markets make for a different after-dark activity, while Aachener Strasse is lined with cheap pizza joints for a midnight snack.
