He will bring Düsseldorf's history to life as he takes you to landmarks such as the castle tower, the market square and the old harbour. Here, you'll experience the spirit of times past while enjoying the present-day charm of the Old Town, complete with its renowned bars.
Düsseldorf was once a royal seat where the lifestyle of the Rhineland and southern European flair merged. This cultural fusion was largely thanks to Jan Wellem's second wife, Anna Luisa Maria de' Medici, who was from Florence. Together, they ushered in a golden age of culture for Düsseldorf. Jan Wellem's impressive collection of paintings put Düsseldorf on the European map and paved the way for it to become an international art metropolis. Immerse yourself in Düsseldorf as it is today and as it was in the past, joining the ranks of the noble guests who have walked these historic streets before you.
