Altstadt, Medieval district in Düsseldorf, Germany

The district contains numerous narrow cobblestone streets lined with traditional buildings, restaurants, breweries, and art galleries spread across one square kilometer.

Following severe damage during World War II, the Old Town underwent extensive reconstruction efforts in the 1950s to preserve its original medieval street layout.

Over 260 restaurants and breweries in the district serve traditional Altbier, a regional dark beer produced through a specific fermentation method.

The central location near the Rhine River provides easy access to public transportation, shopping areas, and cultural institutions within walking distance.

The district holds the nickname 'The Longest Bar in the World' due to its high concentration of establishments serving drinks in a confined area.

Location: District 1
