If you think Dusseldorf starts and
ends with Oz, Barry, Dennis and the
lads, then you are entirely wrong.
After visiting the city, you will see
why the Auf Wiedersehen boys went
back for more, it is addictive, it's
pretty it's lively, it's Germany's fun
town.

Germany, Dusseldorf prides itself on
being one of the worlds most
renowned business centres and is
the home of a variety of Fortune 500
companies.
As well as being a global business
hub, the arts are also held in high
regards within Dusseldorf and the
city is known for its academy of Fine
Arts that has produced some of
Germany9s onest artistic talents.

Dusseldorf and. The cities football
team Fortuna Dusseldorf competes
in the second tier German league
and the DEG Metro Starts, the cities
Ice Hockey Team play in new state of
the art ISS Dome. Düsseldorf
Dragons, the premier rugby team of
Dusseldorf play in the regional NRW
league and consistently onish in a
top three position.
Dusseldorf has an ongoing oerce
rivalry with nearby
Cologne.
Split by just 40km &
connected by the Rhein, the cities

Köln was a Roman City & a base for
Catholicism, while
Dusseldorf was smaller and secular.
