Enviado por REMO el Sabado, 27 Julio de 2013 a las 01:50:18

Dear Düsseldorf Friends,

As Fortuna is all set to fight its way back into the Bundesliga this season, Düsseldorf today already takes a top spot in the Champions League of cities. The event and cultural calendar for the coming months once again makes a trip to the Rhine metropolis more than worthwhile.

But come and take a look for yourself – seeing is believing!

We look forward to your visit.
