The missus has booked a girls' weekend away* in Dusseldorf in November. She's not interested in football (which does have it's advantages!), but I said I'd ask the TWTD travel gurus for any advice for sights to see and bars to visit. The Christmas Market is on the list - any other suggestions?
*I'm not invited obviously! |  |

Right.
A meal up the top of tower on the riverside is well worth doing but needs booking in advance. They can also visit the bar at the top during the day, have a drink and have a fantastic view back over into Dusseldorf. No need to book.
Christmas Market, I believe, is set up in the Aldstadt area and that's where all the decent bars are situated. Dusseldorf gets rammed at weekends for German Hen & Stag trips but suspect that this won't be so prevalent in November.
There's a fantastic shopping area with all the decent brands plus some really good eateries too - Chinese, Sushi & Ice Cream Parlours.
Also, it's a place where you feel safe and Lucan's one criticism of the place was that it was sanitised, there's no dangerous underbelly that you get in some cities, which is great for the ladies.
Drop me a PM if they want a decent hotel option, the one that we stayed in (twice) is superb. The away footy teams stay there when playing Fortuna as did they gypsy boxer geezer whose name escapes me. [Post edited 24 Mar 2018 20:31]

I don’t know what kind of group they are and what they are after but we (me and a few mates) flew into Dusseldorf before venturing on to Dortmund and cologne and from an early 20s “lads” perspective it didn’t have much to offer.
My guess would be the Christmas market is probably one of the better things to do. |  | | |

Cologne's only a short train ride away as well...and Koblenz a bit further down the Rhein is a beautiful city... |  |

When it's the weekend, the sun is out and there's a busy but chilled vibe around, there's no better place to be in the world than on the session than in "the worlds longest bar" which is the nickname for the Aldstadt or 'Old Town' in Dusseldorf. Cheap (ish) beer, friendly locals and a nice range of bars. Gets a 9/10 from me every time I go over. |  | | |
