Düsseldorf is a leading hub for medical technology, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare innovation in Europe. Its world-class infrastructure, its excellent venues and central location makes this city ideal for the next Future of Healthcare Meetings.
Düsseldorf, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, is a vibrant city on the Rhine River known for its blend of tradition and modernity. Renowned for art, fashion, and luxury shopping on Königsallee, it also boasts a lively cultural scene. The historic Altstadt, with its cobblestone streets and famous Altbier, is a hub for dining and nightlife.
Modern landmarks like the Gehry-designed MedienHafen and green spaces like the Rhine Promenade highlight the city’s dynamic character. As a center for business and trade fairs, Düsseldorf attracts global attention while maintaining its welcoming, artistic spirit.
Altstadt (old town)
It covers only half a square kilometre and is nevertheless known as the “the longest bar in the world”. In fact, the old town of Düsseldorf has many facets beyond the famous Altbier
Königsallee
For many, Düsseldorf is synonymous with the Kö. No other German shopping street is blessed with such charisma. The Königsallee is just as much a golden mile as an international trademark.
K21 Ständehaus museum
The former parliament building, which was the seat of the State parliament until the late 1980s, today houses the department of contemporary art.
MedienHafen (Media Harbour)
It is a must for architecture lovers: The MedienHafen in Düsseldorf shines with big names. Star architects like Frank O. Gehry or David Chipperfield transformed a former abandoned harbour area in a highlight for tourists and locals.
Rhine Embankment Promenade
The promenade between the Altstadt (Old Town) and the river has so much to offer: warm breezes and spectacular sunsets, gourmet celebrations, a staircase on which to linger and urban beach furniture.
Breweries
Altbier and Düsseldorf – they just belong together. It is no wonder that there are several legendary breweries in the city. Explore an unique beer taste and good German food in old-established beer houses.
Fortuna-Büdchen (beer kiosk)
Yes, it is “only” a beer kiosk at the river but the Fortuna-Büdchen is a real cult place to go. The red-white painted building offers perhaps the best place to contemplate wonderful sunsets. This leads to a very mixed crowd of football fans and urban romantics who meet here, all of whom like the pleasant atmosphere on the sun-warmed low wall and even prefer it to many a chic terrace.
Gustaf-Gründgens-Platz
Gustaf-Gründgens-Platz is a vibrant urban square in the heart of Düsseldorf, named after the renowned German actor and director. Framed by striking modern architecture—including the iconic Schauspielhaus and the Kö-Bogen buildings—the plaza serves as a cultural and architectural landmark. With its open design and central location, it offers a dynamic space for public life, events, and city strolls, seamlessly connecting culture, commerce, and community.
Benrath Palace
Finished in 1771, the Benrath Palace in the south of Düsseldorf is a typical maison de plaisance (a “pleasure palace”) and combines the architecture and the landscape via visual axes and avenues. Together with the palace park the compound is a recreation area for the inhabitants of the city..
