Individual, out of the box and radiating positive energy - that's how my tours are. Anja, born 1967, open water swimmer, salsa dancer and travel addict having traveled 70+ countries so far and thus knowing what a traveler needs. My passion is to turn cool facts into great stories. I am so happy that I can do this in both of my professions - being a city guide for Düsseldorf and a journalist specialized in economics. I highly value thorough education and delivering perfect service. As a journalist I have worked for the equivalent of Financial Times in Germany and can provide you with insights about German economy, politics and "Life, the Universe and Everything". - certified three star *** city guide - also working for the official tourist office in Düsseldorf - member of the German Professional Guide Association (BVGD) - certified Church Guide Please not: I am a guide for Dusseldorf only! I am not a driver guide. In Germany you need a taxi licence for this - otherwise guests are not insured. Therefor I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can recommend a limousine service (car and driver).

Explore Dusseldorf's modern quarter including Pritzker price awarded architect's buildings
Overview of your Dusseldorf tour
The Media Harbor is one of the first industrial harbors which has been converted into office buildings and cool restaurants. There is no other place on earth where there are as many buildings by star architects as in Düsseldorf within 10 minutes walking distance. Among them three (!) Pritzker Prize award winners - the Nobel prize for architecture: Frank Gehry, Renzo Piano, Fumihiko Maki. I will make sure the landmark buildings "talk" to you: I will guide you to discover architectural treasures in their facades, outlines and the building material - and they will tell stories about water and waves, boats with their bows, railings, sails and gangways, radars, cranes and containers - all things which are connected to the "port" topic. And in the end you will agree: Architecture is fascinating!
Your Dusseldorf tour itinerary
"Must sees": - Starting in the Media Harbour we will find the dancing buildings by Frank O. Gehry connecting Düsseldorf to the Bilbao effect. - Renzo Pianos "The Float", colourful "Colorium" by Bill Alsop, - The "City Gate" (Stadttor) by Petzinka-Pink and the Rhine tower (TV tower) are exceptional landmark buildings. - AfterI will show you works by Steven Hall, Fumihiko Maki and the upcoming architects' cabinet SOP (e. g. the Trivago headquarters). On our way we will discover architectural secrets like a liftable staircase or an echo point. A visit up the Rhinetower (TV tower) is optional but can be included in this tour. (additional cost for entrance ticket) If you happen to be hungry you will find very good restaurants and the best Currywurst (sausage with a special curry ketchup - very typical German fast food) in the Media Harbour area. My tours are customized, there is no standard because I want to match your interests.
