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.
