Best vacation spots and activities

Basilika of St. Lambertus. If you've ever seen a postcard from Dusseldorf, chances are St. Lambertus was on it. For ages, the magnificent church built in the Lower Rhine Gothic style has been an important religious center and one of the city's symbols, probably due to its most distinctive feature, its twisted tower.

Media Harbor is an abbreviation for Media Harbor. This area of Dusseldorf, known as Medienhafen in German, was originally the city port, and you can still see remnants of that history in the many remaining quays, depots, and warehouses. However, it has since been transformed into a vibrant area filled with restaurants, coffee shops, and art institutions. This blend of old and new is arguably what best defines Dusseldorf.

Benrath Palace and Park are both located in the city of Benrath. Schloss Benrath, an exquisite palace, has been in its current location since the 18th century. It is one of Germany's best examples of Rococo architecture. It is connected by a lovely old orangery, as well as a large park ideal for lengthy walks and a quiet escape from the city's hustle and bustle.

Parking and traffic advice

Unless otherwise specified, the speed limit in inhabited or built-up areas is 50km/h (31mph). The autobahns (highways) have no national speed restriction and many do not have a defined speed limit. However, contrary to popular belief, almost half of the autobahns have their own separate speed restrictions, so pay close attention to the speed limit signs on each route you drive on.

Speeding is tolerated in areas where speed restrictions are strictly enforced. Driving merely 3km/h (2mph) above the speed limit can and frequently will result in a fine. Many routes with speed limits have radars installed.

Some autobahns have minimum speed limits that apply to specific lanes, such as 110km/h (68mph) for the left lane and 90km/h (56mph) for the center lane.

Because of the extremely high speeds attained by certain drivers on German autobahns, exercise extreme caution when changing lanes.

It is against the law to use a cell phone while driving. This is severely enforced, and the penalties are severe.

Under the age of 12, children must utilize a kid safety seat.

The legal alcohol limit for experienced drivers is 0.05 percent and 0.00 percent for inexperienced drivers. Exceeding these restrictions might result in hefty penalties and a license suspension.

When you drive, you must have proof of insurance and the car's documents with you.

If you are driving, you must always carry your passport or ID card with you.

The general emergency number, like in the rest of the EU, is 112.
