Burgplatz, Historic square in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The Burgplatz square sits between the Rhine River embankment and the Old Town, featuring the prominent Schlossturm tower at its center.
The Schlossturm tower remains as the final element of a baroque castle that defined the square's landscape during the medieval period.
The Maritime Museum within the Schlossturm presents exhibitions about navigation, trade, and the Rhine River's influence on regional development.
Visitors can access the Rhine promenade through stone steps from the square, connecting the riverside walks with Old Town explorations.
The square holds archaeological significance with its preserved cobblestone surface and underground remnants of medieval fortifications.

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.
