Rhine River Promenade (Dusseldorf, Germany)

The Rhine River Promenade in Dusseldorf:
One of Dusseldorf’s famous features – the artistic and very European “Rheinufer Promenade”. A stretch of bicycling, rollerblading, and walking concrete along the infamous Rhine River is a place for meetings, hanging out, relaxing, strolling, gazing, people watching, and exercising. It is the pivotal connecting point of the Old Town and the Rhine river bustling the area with river view restaurants, pubs, and sights. This amazing engineering masterpiece is houses a 1.4 km long tunnel carrying over 50,000 cars a day for Dusseldorf’s rush hour traffic completely unseen to the relaxing and quiet river walk up top. It cost the city over a half-a-billion DM over seven years to construct with finalization in 1997 by Architect Niklaus Fritschi. The Rhine River is a historic and economically dependent river in Germany that offers harbours, shipping, tourism, deliveries, and economy to Dusseldorf’s river cities. Some of the best views of the river are in Dusseldorf from either the Rheinkniebrücke and the Oberkassler bridges, as well as the Rheinturm, the Rheinuferpromenade, as well as other viewing points in the city of Dusseldorf. Rating: 5 stars out of 5.
