Hotels.com has some fantastic deals on city hotel rooms, offering a variety of old and new style properties that are in keeping with the contrasting vibe of the city as a whole. The Radisson Blu is a stunning modern hotel in the exciting Media Harbour area. The Media Harbour was recently re-developed, with buildings commissioned from a variety of architects including the distinctive Frank Gehry, and is now a very visually appealing part of the city. This immaculate hotel is just mere steps from the Media Harbour bridge and the iconic Rhine Tower, and is ideal for those who like clean, modern design with luxurious, premium touches. Alternatively, if you want to experience ‘Old' Dusseldorf, Hotels.com has a wide choice of hotels in the charming and historic Aldstadt. For something traditional and down to earth, the Hotel Alt Dusseldorf is located in the heart of the Old Town, and offers basic accommodation at a great value price. To save even more on your Dusseldorf accommodation make sure that you check 5hop5.ie before you book for the best Hotel.com discount codes. Short Hop from Dublin Time is precious when it comes to the weekend mini-break. You don't want to spend hours in the air to be faced with a long transfer into the city, meaning that you arrive exhausted and ready for nothing but your bed. Aer Lingus offers flights from Dublin to Dusseldorf with a flight time of just over an hour, which makes the city exceptionally easy to get to. From the airport, a ten minute train ride takes you right into the heart of the city, so your holiday can begin from the moment you land. The Old With its cobbled streets and traditional buildings, Dusseldorf's historic ‘Aldstadt' is a delightful place to wander. Enjoy exploring alone or take a guided tour to fully understand the rich history of the area. The tourist board runs informative and fun tours, in groups or privately, which tell the stories behind the monuments and the background of the buildings. Drinking the ‘alt bier' is an essential part of any trip to Dusseldorf, and the traditional ‘brewery houses' in the Old Town make experiencing the local beer an absolute pleasure. Beware though, the waiters will just keep them coming, so remember to put your beer mat on top of your glass once you've had enough. The New A real highlight of the Media Harbour area is a trip up the Rhine Observatory Tower. This futuristic landmark of the city offers arial views of the Media Harbour and panoramic views of Dusseldorf. The Frank Gehry buildings are another highlight of this modern addition to the city, although any fan of architecture will be spoilt for choice when faced with the architectural gems especially designed for the regeneration of this area. I'll admit to be wonderfully surprised by what Dusseldorf has to offer and am sure that the city deserves to be up there among Europe's premier destinations for tourists. So head to 5hop5.ie for your Hotels.com voucher code and experience a beautiful amalgamation of old and new for yourself.

Of all of the beautiful cities that I've been lucky enough to explore Dusseldorf was the one that had the most striking contrast between old and new. On researching the city, its reputation as a German business and finance centre stood out. However, I feel that this actually sells the city short. Seemingly in the shadow of Berlin as the German tourist destination of choice, Dusseldorf actually has a lot to offer those looking for an easy mini-break full of interest and excitement. Divided into two distinct areas, the Aldstadt (Old Town) and the ultra modern Media Harbour, Dusseldorf is both easy to navigate and rich with contrast at the same time. Add to this architectural interest exceptional opportunities to enjoy art and culture, beautiful parks and open spaces, the stunning river Rhine and a friendly, convivial atmosphere (aided along by the abundance of historical pubs and ‘brewery houses') and you have all the ingredients for an exceptional weekend away. Affordable The plus side to Dusseldorf's struggle to establish itself as one of Germany's leading tourist destination is that accommodation can often be found at a reasonable price.
