Altstadt Barcelona Hotel Shuttles

Home to low-key lodging juxtaposed by the vibrancy of Düsseldorf’s Alstadt (Old Town) neighborhood, the Alstadt Hotel Barcelona offers the perfect balance between hostel prices and hotel privacy - brightly colored rooms provide slanted ceilings and just enough space to work and sleep, while some family rooms add a bit more space for a dining table. There is no air-conditioning, although free Wi-Fi and breakfast are thrown in as a perk. An on-site restaurant is also located on the ground floor, offering street-side appetizers and easy access to the various going-ons of Heinrich Heine Avenue, where transportation is available via the Heinrich Heine Avenue U-Bahn Station. Walkways along the Rhine River offer an array of bike rental shops for those looking to take the scenic route as well. Book a private lift for the perk of avoiding public schedules, choosing between modest sedans or family-friendly SUVs for easy escapes into the outskirts, also considering an array of professional meet-and-greet services such as taxis ideal for getting to Düsseldorf International.

Though going with the flow isn’t always the best option, when enveloped in the city’s inescapable buzz it can be the best way to save energy - start with what’s close, going on a modest morning walk through Hofgarten’s old bridges crossing swan-filled canals, afterward taking expertly landscaped trails toward in-park exhibits that include displays of local theater at Theater Museum and remaining artifacts from the life of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe at the Goethe Museum. In the opposite direction rests the strong flow of the Rhine River, something easy to go against by simply sticking to the side’s trails leading to the Maritime Museum’s old tower exhibits on the famed river alongside the 1920s-era architecture and modern art of NRW Forum. And of course, no trip to the neighborhood would be complete without a walk down King’s Boulevard, commonly referred to as the Main Street of Düsseldorf for its quiet west side available for walking and busy east side ideal for cafe stops & luxury shopping.
