Dusseldorf Holidays Overview
Düsseldorf is the capital city of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia and is located on the Rhine River in Germany’s most highly populated metropolitan area. It is well known as a centre for trade, fashion and culture.
Düsseldorf began to thrive during the nineteenth century, and doubled in size during the industrial revolution. It was heavily bombed during the Second World War as German industry was targeted, and was badly damaged by the end of the war. Following the war Düsseldorf underwent a rapid reconstruction, and began to develop into the wealthy city of trade and services it is today.
