ORGANISE YOUR TRAVEL Dusseldorf is well connected and getting around the city is easy thanks to its excellent public transport network. There is one important change to note this year: your admission ticket to the show does not include free use of local transport, as it did in the past. Instead, visitors can travel using the eezy app, which is like an ‘e-ticket’. Details on transport can be found here.
SOAK UP SOME CULTURE Dusseldorf is more than just K2022. As the capital of North Rhine- Westphalia, it is home to more than 100 galleries and museums. One celebration is for the artist Joseph Beuys, who spent much of his life in the city. While his centenary fell in 2021, there are still several ongoing events. These include: an augmented reality (AR) experience (at three separate locations); and, if you’re feeling fit, a Beuys-themed cycle tour. Find out more here
TRY SOME RETAIL THERAPY If retail is your thing – and especially designer goods – then Dusseldorf will not disappoint. Königsallee – known as ‘Kö’ to locals – includes many of Europe’s leading fashion names and is likened with London’s Knightsbridge or New York’s Fifth Avenue. However, neither of those locations can boast a setting to match the tree-lined, man-made ‘river’ that runs through this premium shopping district. Catch the flavour here.

DON’T FORGET THE ALTBIER! Regular visitors will already know that Dusseldorf’s local brew is the Altbier, a malty copper-coloured ale of around 4.5% strength produced using a special top-fermented lagering method. The name translates as ‘old beer’ but is actually derived from the Latin word ‘altus’, which means ‘high’ and refers to way the yeast rises during brewing. Try it out in one of the city’s numerous brew-pubs. Details of these and a short history of Altbier can be found here.
