If you don't have much time to spend visiting the sights of Dusseldorf, there is a handy 1 hour tour available in the guides. All the places and sights are reachable on food and you can do it any time.
Follow Konigsalle and visit Stilwerk, a center for design fanatics, the Ko moat along side the boulavard of magnification design shops before meeting slim Matilda on the corner, one of Germany's oldest meeting points. From here you get to see Germany's first high rise office block, Wilhelm-Marx-House and gallerie Kaufhof, the first department store. If you continue along the walk you will see the most beautiful baroque church, St. Andreas. Once you meet markplatz where the town hall sits you will see a monument of the elector Jan Wellem high on his horse. Take a quick peak at the Rhine before heading to Carlstadt, an exquisite quarter of museums and galleries including the film museum, het-jens-museum of ceramics and for a more profound insight into Dusseldorf's history, the Stadt museum. Walking back to the Rhine and heading North, you will reach the Rheinturm, once of Europe's largest TV towers before hitting the media harbour where you will find architecture from Frank O'Gehry.
