Düsseldorf's most elegant street, Königsallee - literally translated into English as "King's Avenue" - is affectionately known to locals as the "Kö" and is said to be Germany's ritziest shopping district.
Comparable to the chic Avenue Montaigne in Paris, this long stretch of high-end real estate was laid out in 1802 and continues to draw the crowds with its eclectic mix of exclusive boutique shops, designer clothing stores, and luxury shopping arcades. There's also no shortage of art galleries or restaurants and cafés.
A number of fine luxury hotels line the street, too, some of them boasting excellent rooftop patios with views over this bustling street and the city.
Extending along both sides of the old town moat - a 31-meter-wide, tree-lined stretch of water that adds to the street's sense of spaciousness - Königsallee stretches a distance of one kilometer all the way from Graf-Adolf-Platz in the south to the Hofgarten in the north. It ends at the spectacular Triton Fountain. Its entire length is a delight to explore on foot and is a must-add to your Düsseldorf travel itinerary.
