Best Düsseldorf Running Routes

Visitors to Düsseldorf will quickly be impressed by its riverside parks, promenade and repurposed harbor. The old town is one of the liveliest in Germany, with streets full of outdoor restaurant- and bar seating, and visitors from around the world enjoying a night out with friends and colleagues. But there are also hidden corners, away from the Rhine River and the old town, where hilly woods and rural fields await for a total getaway from the urban pulse...
