Düsseldorf City Map 2024

Hi there!

Several years ago I took the course "Introduction to Infographics with Adobe Illustrator" by Paadín. But since 2022 I've been living in Germany and travelling a lot. Of all the cities I've visited, I especially like Düsseldorf. I really enjoy visiting this city, and I try to do it as often ass possible.

I decided to create a map of this city in the style of an infographic. The city is large, so the map doesn't cover the entire city, but it shows the main and well-known places that can be visited this year.

About Düsseldorf

The right gray circle with the name "Düsseldorf":
Düsseldorf, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, is renowned for its fashion, art scene, and Königsallee, an elegant shopping street. The city has approximately 650,000 residents (as of 2024). Düsseldorf became well-known in the 19th century, establishing itself as a significant trade and cultural center due to its location on the Rhine River and economic development.

The left gray circle with the name "Altstadt":
The Old Town (Altstadt) in Düsseldorf offers numerous pubs and breweries. Known as the "longest bar in the world," it is famous for its many bars, breweries, and historic buildings. It serves as a vibrant center for nightlife and cultural events.

The places

For this map I chose eleven places:

1. Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof
The main train station and central transportation hub of the city offers national and international connections. This is one of my favorite places because, unlike the main city, the shops here are open even on Sundays.
