Bike tour 1:
Düsseldorf, please.
A journey right through the heart of Düsseldorf: from the vegetable fields in Hamm, along Königsallee, to the MedienHafen. Contrasts that go together surprisingly well – just like the city itself. The perfect tour for anyone who’d rather discover Düsseldorf than just tick it off their list.
Total length: approx. 21 km
Circular tour, flexible starting point
Bike Tour 2:
More green spaces. More Düsseldorf.
Get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and out into the countryside. Ancient tree-lined avenues, sprawling parks, tranquil Rhineland landscapes and the Baroque Benrath Palace are strung together almost like a string of pearls. It’s not about clocking up as many kilometres as possible, but about stopping every now and then along the way – for a picnic by the water, a coffee in the sunshine or simply a moment of peace and quiet. That’s what Düsseldorf feels like when you take the time to enjoy it.
Total length of the route: approx. 17 km
Starting point: Bilk S-Bahn station
Destination: Benrath Palace
Bike Tour 3:
Düsseldorf by the river.
On this tour, you’ll experience Düsseldorf from both sides of the Rhine and discover just how different the city can feel. Historic façades meet modern architecture, and peaceful riverside paths meet the hustle and bustle of the promenade. Throughout, the Rhine accompanies you every step of the way: sometimes as a backdrop, sometimes as a haven of tranquillity, and always as a good reason to pause for a moment.
Total length: approx. 26 km
Circular tour, flexible starting point
Our tip: Start at the bike hire shop at the main station
