‘Round Düsseldorf

It occurs to me that despite having lived here for almost three months, I’ve shared relatively little about Düsseldorf. So while a more detailed account of being an expat in Germany (again) is in the works, I thought I’d show off a bit the city to help you get to know my new adoptive town.

The first thing you need to know about Düsseldorf is that it’s green.

The next thing you need to know is that it’s pretty.

Düsseldorf is known in Germany as being pretty chic, too. Thanks to its Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (basically “shops”).

But D-town is also quite traditional.

And to top it all off: a skyline which is quickly becoming my one of my favourites.
