Creative Districts

Young, creative and unconventional – this is how the other side of Düsseldorf presents itself. Conventional residential districts have developed into impressive hubs for the creative scene. The Ackerstrasse in the Flingern district is probably the best example of a place for "young creative guns". Many started to move here years ago as it was one of the less wealthier districts of Düsseldorf. Today, north Flingern and the structure that has grown there over the years have become a refreshing melting pot for the new creative class. More trendy shops are to be found on the Lorettostrasse in the Unterbilk district as well as in the Bilk and Pempelfort districts.

Shopping

The metropolis on the banks of the Rhine is famously regarded as one of the hotspots of international fashion. So much fashion competence concentrated in one area means that the opportunities to shop in Düsseldorf are just endless – it’s where “shopping at its best” can be enjoyed! Düsseldorf’s city centre is the ideal destination to savour the perfect shopping experience. From the Altstadt (Old Town) via Königsallee all the way to Schadowstraße, it is virtually one big connected shopping location. Individual districts such as Flingern or Unterbilk equally offer an innovative and unique range of small boutiques and designer stores, several of which can be found only in Düsseldorf. The city is a platform for the world’s major fashion designers to present the whole gamut of fashion alongside large flagship stores of well-known brands – but also budding fashion stars – to satisfy any taste.
