A view from above & beyond, & along the Rhine.





So some more sightseeing was in order before Thursday night's live Semi-Final 2! We started with a tour on an open top bus which would take us to some of Dusseldorf's most renowned sights, followed by a very nice boat cruise on the river Rhine.

One of the sights on the bus tour took us to the legendary Konigsalee, which is one of Europe's best addresses for luxurious shopping. Also close by is the MedienHafen (Media Harbour), with it's impressive skyline shaped by famous architects.

One of the best views I've had from a tall building was from the Rheinturm (Rhine Tower). It is 172 metres above ground, & on a clear day you might even see the tip of the Cologne Cathedral.

A boat trip on the Rhine is a must, & will take you to some of the most popular attractions of Dusseldorf from Burgplatz along the Rheinpromenade (esplanade) & North Rhine-Westphalia's State Parliament to the MedienHafen & back.
