About this tour
This session pairs the Rheinturm's own function as a working telecommunications tower with the view it offers over Medienhafen and the river. You see the district's layout from height after already knowing its buildings from the ground. It moves from street level to a high vantage point.
We start at the base for context on the tower's function, then the view opens up once we are higher. I keep the pace unhurried, since the view rewards time rather than a quick glance. Questions about the district come naturally, and I answer them as we go.
It suits anyone who wants to see how the city's modern district fits together from above. It also pairs well with the Medienhafen session for the ground-level view first.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

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.
-
Rheinturm base 15 min
The camera holds on the tower from ground level, and I explain its role as a telecommunications tower that doubles as the city's tallest public viewpoint.
-
View from the deck 15 min
From partway up the tower, you see the Medienhafen and the river spread out below, and I point out how the whole district fits together from height.
-
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: Rheinischer Sauerbraten (pot roast in a raisin sauce) and Altstadt, worth a slower look.
