Germany is a sporting country and a lover of the outdoors, so sports fans can find plenty to keep them occupied in Düsseldorf. With numerous sports clubs, swimming pools, and running routes, there’s no end to activities on offer. For those interested in watching sports events, the city has its own ice hockey and football teams who are always happy to welcome more fans!

Aside from sports and culture, Düsseldorf also maintains its historic features with the beautiful Old Town, and is one of the greenest cities in Germany with its vast number of parks and green spaces, including the famous Japanese Garden.
