The Hofgarten, to the east of the Andreas Quartier, is Düsseldorf's oldest public park. It was laid out in 1769 under the governor Count von Goltstein, on the site of an earlier Baroque park, and now extends over an area of around 27 hectares As a relaxing green oasis in the middle of the city, the Hofgarten is a popular meeting place for locals and visitors to the city. 

The Ehrenhof is directly adjacent to the Hofgarten. Originally built for the GeSoLei exhibition in 1926 (Große Ausstellung Düsseldorf, or Great Düsseldorf Exhibition), it is now a cultural centre and architectural highlight of Düsseldorf. The gardens were designed in the baroque style, with a parterre containing paths, lawns, flowerbeds, neatly clipped trees and shrubs, as well as sculptures in a range of different styles and eras. The buildings inside the gardens house various attractions, including the Hentrich Glass Museum, the Graphisches Kabinett (Museum of Prints and Drawings), concert halls and exhibition spaces. 

Just a few steps west from the Andreas Quartier and you will find yourself on the Rhine promenade. It starts in the north near the Academy of Arts, runs along the old town via the Schlossufer, Burgplatz, Rathausufer with the Old Harbour to the state parliament and continues south to the Medienhafen. The almost two-kilometre-long promenade is shaded by French-style trimmed plane trees and passes the castle tower, the St. Lambertus Church, numerous inviting squares, gastronomic establishments and many representative buildings. 

Built in 1926 and originally planned as a planetarium, the Tonhalle is now one of the city's most important concert venues and forms the southern boundary of the Ehrenhof complex. It houses a hall with 1,854 seats, a chamber music hall with 300 seats and a rotunda in the foyer with up to 400 seats. Its striking domed roof and excellent acoustics make concerts here a unique experience for music lovers. Those interested in architecture are already raving about the construction, design and materials used. 

Located on Grabbeplatz square, opposite the Andreas Quartier, the K20 of the North Rhine-Westphalia Art Collection showcases major works of classical modernism. 120 works by Paul Klee alone are waiting to be displayed. Paintings by Kandinsky, Beckmann, Kirchner, Matisse and Picasso are also on display, entering into a dialogue with images of historical avant-garde and contemporary art. In addition to classic surrealists such as Dalí, Magritte, Miró and Ernst, the 20 exhibition rooms also showcase works from the second half of the 20th century by Bacon, Giacometti and da Silva. And of course, Joseph Beuys, whose installation Palazzo Regale is also on display, could not be left out. 

The Kunsthalle Düsseldorf is also located on Grabbeplatz. In contrast to the K20, the Kunsthalle does not have its own collection, but organises changing exhibitions. The programme is supplemented by lectures, performances and discussion events on current topics in art. A must for anyone who is more intensively involved with art. The same building also houses the Rhineland and Westphalia Art Association, the cabaret stage Kom(m)ödchen and the bar ‘Salon des Amateurs’. 

Königsallee, commonly known as ‘die Kö’, is one of the most important luxury shopping streets and grand boulevards in Europe. Here, along the Kö-Graben, which is lined on both sides by a double row of trees, the world's luxury brands, exclusive boutiques, jew Squares and fountains add to the unique atmosphere, which attracts not only tourists from all over the world but also the people of Düsseldorf themselves. 

The Kö-Bogen continues the Kö in a bold urban curve and connects it to the Hofgarten. Here, the world-famous architect Daniel Libeskind has given Düsseldorf a modern face. The buildings with the characteristic faceted façade house cafés, restaurants, clothing stores, an Apple store and numerous brand and design shops. The Kö-Bogen on Gustav-Gründgens-Platz is no less spectacular. The building complex, designed by Ingenhoven Architects, was partially given a green roof and facade with hornbeams. Another building was covered with lawn, which serves as a seating area for passers-by. 

Schadowstraße is Düsseldorf's most highly frequented shopping street. It begins between Kö and Kö-Bogen. In addition to a large department store, it is mainly home to clothing and shoe stores, but also offers all the shopping options for daily needs. In addition to shopping opportunities, there are also gastronomic offers and service providers in a wide range of sectors, not least doctors and clinics.
