INNSiDE Düsseldorf Derendorf

The longest bar in the world. Since the rock band Toten Hosen dedicated their song "Altbierlied" (dark beer song) to Düsseldorf's pubs and bars, "the longest bar in the world" has become famous far beyond Düsseldorf. More than 250 pubs, restaurants and bars line the streets of the Old Town. Quaint breweries, trendy restaurants or student pubs with a friendly atmosphere - go for it and explore the variety!

Optically, light diodes and a refined lighting concept today have turned the concert hall back into what it has always been: a “Music Planetarium”. Düsseldorf‘s starry sky means concerts here are a particularly special experience. Director Michael Becker is amazed at how the concert hall attracts audiences: “Now the corner acoustics have been brought into the round at the concert hall, we are all indulging in concerts under the stars.” More than 200 concerts with more than 220,000 spectators per year make the “Music Planetarium” a splendid cultural forum and a place to meet people. Over the years, two things in particular have remained unchanged: the large range and the frequent euphorically celebrated discoveries in Germany’s most beautiful concert venue.

The Museum Kunstpalast, which was redesigned by Oswald Matthias Ungers and opened in 2001, is located in the center of Düsseldorf, right on the Rhine river. Ever since it reopened, the house has gained for itself an international reputation with its high-quality exhibitions, such as Miró, Dalí, Warhol, Caravaggio, "Bonjour Russia", "Diana and Actaeon" and Per Kirkeby. The permanent exhibit too, whose spectrum ranges from medieval sculptures to an outstanding assortment of Baroque graphic works up to paintings of the Düsseldorf School of Painting and Expressionism, as well as contemporary photography, is held in great esteem all over the world. The Hentrich Glass Collection is also found in the Museum Kunstpalast, and is the most comprehensive glass collection in Europe, tracing the development of glass artistry without interruption from luxury glass objects of the pre-Roman period up to glass art from contemporary studios. The Robert Schumann Hall, a multifunctional hall offering a sophisticated program running from chamber music to cabaret, is also integrated into the museum.

Two cities, two theatres: Since 1956 the Deutsche Oper am Rhein and the Ballett am Rhein perform both in the opera house in Düsseldorf and the theatre in Duisburg. Discover our programme with almost 300 events and performances.
