Düsseldorf offers photographers a diverse range of settings that blend centuries of history with contemporary urban design. From the pink Rococo facade of Benrath Palace and the medieval ruins of Kaiserpfalz Kaiserswerth to the bold modern structures of MedienHafen designed by internationally recognized architects, the city presents countless opportunities to capture compelling images. The contrast between old and new appears throughout Düsseldorf, whether you're photographing the historic gravestones at Alter Golzheimer Friedhof, the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, or the sleek observation deck of the Rheinturm rising 551 feet (168 meters) above the Rhine. The city's green spaces add another dimension to your photography, with the 173-acre (70-hectare) Hofgarten providing tree-lined paths and open meadows, while Nordpark showcases formal Japanese gardens and seasonal flowerbeds. Along Königsallee, a tree-lined canal creates natural reflections that complement the surrounding storefronts and architecture. Whether you're interested in architectural details, natural settings, or urban landscapes, Düsseldorf's varied locations work equally well in morning light, afternoon sun, or after dark when building illumination transforms the cityscape into a different visual experience altogether.
