Altstadt
The Altstadt has made Düsseldorf world-famous. But it's not just the tempting array of food and drink, which gives this picturesque quarter its special flavour; the Altstadt also has a few churches that are worth a visit.

There's the Neanderkirche (1683 - 87), the Bergerkirche (1683 - 87), the Kreuzherrenkirche - a 15th-century double-nave Gothic hall church – and St. Lambertus which dates back to the 13th century and is one of the oldest parish churches. The Andreaskirche built in the first half of the 17th century is considered the finest example of the Rhenish Jesuit style. And be sure to take a look at the former Franciscan monastery church of St. Maximilian, built in the 18th century. Another "must" is the Staatliche Kunstakademie (State Art Academy), designed in the Italian Renaissance style, which still enjoys an established position in the world of contemporary art. The Jan-Wellem-Denkmal, cast in 1703 and erected in the Market Place in 1711, is one of Germany's most important Baroque monuments. And from here it's just a short walk to Schneider-Wibbel-Gasse (the famous Tailor Wibbel, Düsseldorf folk hero) where Düsseldorf folk melodies tinkle from the Schneider-Wibbel-Stube's musical clock at 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm, 6 pm and 9 pm.

Ehrenhof
The Ehrenhof, constructed in 1926 for the Gesolei Fitness and Health Exhibition, is a major landmark in Dusseldorf. It si also one of the major architectural achievements of the period immediately following the First World War and encompasses the recently-refurbished Kunstmuseum (Museum of Art). The complex is a visual culmination of the Hofgarten designed by landscape gardener Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe at the beginning of the 19th century which, runs down to the riverbanks.
