A day trip to Düsseldorf

On Saturday we decided to take a little adventure and check out Düsseldorf. It was a bit rainy and dreary but still a very cool place with lots of people and lots to see. We went to the recommended Uerige for an altbier. Düsseldorf is well-known for its altbier, a dark beer, which is brewed only in the region. We also explored Altstadt (the old city), there were hundreds of restaurants, bars and people. There was a beautiful market with lots of fresh things to buy. Then we wandered around the uber shopping district known as the Königsallee (King's Avenue). The "Kö" is a popular shopping destination that reminded us of Paris.


It was a very busy area even on a very rainy day. We are excited to go back when the weather is better and maybe take some visitors! So far it is our favorite city that requires more exploration.
