Green+urban, the future formula of the city! On the tour you will experience architecture + nature in an imposing symbiosis. Explore the urban landscape between Königsallee and Hofgarten. Important stops are two still young Düsseldorf landmarks: Kö-Bogen I+II. The banishment of traffic underground made it possible in the first place – Düsseldorf’s New Center.
