    A must visit place in Dusseldorf. Especially on Saturdays when the market is bubbling with people. A lot of shops and eating joints. A walk around old Dusseldorf city is a treat.

    Not as historical visit or an administrative need, visited for the Altstadt Holiday Festival season market and Glühwein from the snow people cups. Highly recommended

    Interesting market square with several store fronts and restaurants available. The old city hall is directly on the square. It gives an idea of the history and what it would have been like on centuries past.

    (Translated by Google) Similar to the city halls of most European countries, the statue at the door can be seen (Original) 和大多数欧洲国家的市政厅差不多,也就门口的雕像有可看性

    The Marktplatz located in the city center of Düsseldorf was a great time. Right now it is totally outfitted with hundreds of Christmas Market stands, each one selling various items from Glüwein, Food items, Trinkets and other assorted items. There are also a small variety if fair rides. We had a great time at the Düsseldorf Marketplatz and I know you will too, I highly recommend it.

    Beautiful place and awesome Christmas market. Its a fun day to just walk around here and snack at different stands selling tasty things. Also if you want some handmade stuff its a good place to find it.

    (Translated by Google) Right next to the old brewery is the town hall here. Many legends and many anecdotes are bustling around the old town hall. I was then assigned to file my marriage papers ... since then the building has not changed at all over the last 30 years. (Original) Direkt an der alten Brauerei liegt das Rathaus hier. Viele Sagen und viele Anekdoten tummeln sich um das alte Rathaus. Ich wurde damals hier beauftragt, meine Trauungs Papiere einzureichen,.. seither hat sich das Gebäude in den letzten 30 Jahren überhaupt nicht verändert.

  • 4/5 Monika S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Actually, there are three town halls on the market square in Dusseldorf: the Old Renaissance town hall from the 16th century, the Wilhelminian town hall from the last third of the 19th century on the site of the former theater - now renewed - and the Grupello house, where the Artist of the Jan Wellem monument lived. An imposing building ensemble close to the Rhine! My photos show it from the outside, nearby a pair of citizens as "pillar saints", life-like figures by Christoph Pöggeler, who populate the city lovingly and enjoy the passers-by from their Litfass columns down. (Original) Eigentlich sind es drei Rathäuser am Marktplatz in Düsseldorf: das Alte Renaissance-Rathaus aus dem 16. Jahrhundert, das Wilhelminische Rathaus aus dem letzten Drittel des 19. Jahrhundert an der Stelle des ehemaligen Theaters – inzwischen erneuert – und das Grupello-Haus, wo der Künstler des Jan Wellem-Denkmals wohnte. Ein imposantes Bau-Ensemble ganz nah am Rhein! Meine Fotos zeigen es von außen, in der Nähe ein Bürgerpaar als „Säulenheilige“, lebensechte Figuren von Christoph Pöggeler, welche die Stadt liebenswert bevölkern und von ihren Litfaß-Säulen herab die Passanten erfreuen.

    Very nice experience at the Christmas market!

  • 5/5 nacra d. 4 months ago on Google • 229 reviews
    A beautiful place around the Jan-Willem (man on the horse) memorial. And the town hall in the background. With the Christmas market in wintertime or dutin Karneval you should check out the atmosphere!

  • 2/5 Dobrica I. 6 months ago on Google • 168 reviews
    During the day is nice, but at the evening is really dark and full of strange people which are not from Europe.

  • 5/5 Surendra H. 4 months ago on Google • 80 reviews
    One of the best places on Altstadt. You name it and all your desires can be fulfilled in and around the Marktplatz. May it be the Cuisine or Beer or Killipistch... You can never be disappointed. Enjoy...

    Scenic square filled with a lovely Christmas market - lots of interesting stalls, more than just food

  • 2/5 Ragini K. 1 year ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Not very impressive. You can skip this or just pass by as it's not great if compared to other Marktplatz. It may be attractive during Christmas or markets but not otherwise.

  • 5/5 lloyd 4 years ago on Google
    We went to the Christmas market. Grate atmosphere. Lots of interesting and individual market stools.

    Visited during Christmas market. Worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Karol G. 2 years ago on Google
    There is a christmas market there right now. It had Covid controls. Worth the visit, get some mulled wine if you’re going there at night, when it’s really chilly 🥶

  • 5/5 Deborah H. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely Christmas market with good COVID controls. Wasn't too crowded.

  • 5/5 Niraj S. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Firas a. 3 years ago on Google
    Its one of the sweetest places in North rhine-westphalia, crowded more in summer time, many restaurants and clubs, easy to reach using train. Usually there is a festival going on there. Many tourists from all around the world. Highly recommend if you are visiting Duesseldorf 😀

  • 3/5 Bouthaina B. 1 year ago on Google
    Only bars and a very limited number of mediocre restaurants. Not my type of place

    One of the landmark in the old town. I was early and most restaurants were closed.

  • 5/5 R C L. 11 months ago on Google
    Great spot with bars and cafes to enjoy a beer in the sun.

  • 4/5 Patrick K. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice places for collection cars; I found it more interesting than the Motor World of Cologne, though both of them are a must see when you visit these 2 cities. There are plenty of collection cars, and there is also a section for motorcycles; so, in case you are a car-enthusiast, you need at least 2 hours to see all the cars and take some pics of your favorites.

  • 5/5 Pijus A. 6 years ago on Google
    This is arguably central place/ market of Altstadt, the old town of Dusseldorf. There is church, lots of bar, garment outlets and proximity of River Rhine. Walk through the alleys of Marktplatz and find your kind of cuisine if you are hungry!

  • 4/5 Petar P. 4 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) Inhuman politicians sit here. We are being deprived of more rights under the guise of "protection against infection". A city that forbids its citizens to linger in the fresh air on the Rhine has to be criticized. 2 stars just for the building being architecturally beautiful. But the people who work there are evil and behave inhumanely! (Original) Hier sitzen menschenverachtende Politiker. Unter dem Deckmantel des "Infektionsschutzes" werden uns mehr mehr Rechte genommen. Eine Stadt die ihren Bürgern verbietet am Rhein an der frischen Luft zu verweilen, muss kritisiert werden. 2 Sterne nur dafür, dass das Gebäude architektonisch schön ist. Aber die Leute die dort arbeiten, sind böse und handeln menschenverachtend!

  • 5/5 Joan H. 5 years ago on Google
    This is a lovely old building in the Old Town. It is said to date from the 16th Century. Alas, there was little signage in English. It was also not clear if you could go inside and, as some of the rooms were lit up and appeared extremely attractive from the square, it would have been great to have had that opportunity.
