How to Get from Amsterdam to Düsseldorf, Germany
The picturesque city of Düsseldorf, in the German state of Nordrhein-Westfalen - which shares a border with the Netherlands - is easily the top destination I would recommend to tourists who want to sample a bit of western Germany on their Netherlands itinerary. At just over 125 miles (200 km) from Amsterdam, it's also the closest major German city east of the border, and conveniently accessible both by road and by rail.

Düsseldorf Tourist Information
As one of the most populous cities in Germany, Düsseldorf has its share of metropolitan amenities, but also features an exquisite, historic city center, the Altstadt, densely filled with bars and restaurants that peddle typical Northern German cuisine as well as the city's famous beer, Altbier. A center of both economy and the arts, the multi-faceted city pleases travelers of all stripes; sites for culture and entertainment abound, such as the renowned Kunsthalle, and the famous "Kö" is a must-see street for luxury shoppers. Some of my favorite of the city's attractions are its diverse architecture - from the historic Kaiserswerth district, which dates to the year 700, the the modern architecture of the MedienHafen (Media Harbor) quarter - and the concentration of Japanese restaurants on Immermannstraße, a token of the city's thousands of Japanese expats.
