Düsseldorf sets trends. It's the fashion capital of Germany with more than 800 showrooms presenting the latest designer and couture creations – and not just during fashion week. The lively and diverse metropolis on the Rhine offers historic sights, picturesque parks with lively cultural centres, interesting museums and a wonderful array of restaurants, cafes and bars. The famous Königsallee, meanwhile, is lined with exclusive boutiques. Shoppers are known to succumb to temptation in the name of fashion here. The same sentiment is felt in Carlstadt, an idyllic borough full of antique shops, galleries and art dealers. And then there's the Old Town with its laid-back vibe that has attracted unconventional fashion boutiques and numerous alternative stores to take up residence here. Not to mention the abundance of pubs, clubs and bars that has earned Düsseldorf Old Town the nickname of 'the longest bar in the world'.

Little Tokyo is one of Düsseldorf’s liveliest areas. A place where locals, Japanese business people, manga fans and foodies from around the world meet to enjoy noodle soup, sushi and sake, or perhaps even a traditional altbier! 

But Little Tokyo is not the only place where you can experience Japanese culture in Düsseldorf. There are Japanese gardens in Nordpark and at the EKŌ-Haus in Niederkassel, for example. The latter also has an amazing Buddhist temple. 

Ed stayed at the Clayton Hotel Dusseldorf with rooms from €129 and he flew with Aer Lingus who have twice daily flights from Dublin from €35.44 each way - The Dusseldorf Card offers great value on all public transport and museums.....
