About this tour
This session walks the Rheinuferpromenade, a riverside path built over a former motorway to open the waterfront to pedestrians. You see the Oberkasseler Brücke across the water and hear how the redevelopment changed the relationship between the old town and the river. It moves along the water at a steady pace.
We walk steadily along the path, and I explain the motorway's removal and the promenade's construction as we go. The bridge view comes about halfway through, and I let the frame rest there. A short note on the redevelopment follows by message.
It suits anyone interested in urban planning and how cities reclaim space from traffic. It also pairs well with the brewhouse session for a fuller old town picture.

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Dusseldorf before heading out.
-
Promenade path 15 min
The camera follows the riverside path, and I explain how it was built directly over a former motorway, freeing the waterfront for walking rather than traffic.
-
View to Oberkasseler Brücke 15 min
Looking across the water, you see the Oberkasseler Brücke, and I explain how the bridge connects the old town to the quieter district on the far bank.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Dusseldorf: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Reibekuchen (potato pancakes) and Oberkassel, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
