Düsseldorf Excursions

Out in the southern suburbs Benrath Palace and Park, Benrather Schlosslee 104, Benrath (tel: (0211) 899 7219; website: www.schloss-benrath.de/en), is one of the most beautiful garden palaces of the 18th-century. It includes extensive landscaped grounds, a Natural History Museum and a Museum of European Garden Art. Cologne (Köln) is an easy day trip by river. The highlights are its magnificent Cathedral (Dom), its Altstadt (Old Town), its romanesque churches and its three top museums: the Römischer-Germanisches (Roman Germany Museum); the Imhoff-Stollwerck chocolate museum; and the Museum Ludwig modern art collection. Another option is the short trip by rail (10 minutes) to Duisburg with its historic core and some fine museums.
