🇩🇪 Where to live in Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf's residential areas divide roughly between the dense central quarters around the Hauptbahnhof, Königsallee and the old town, and the calmer districts along the Rhine and out to the east and north. Left-bank Oberkassel and northern Kaiserswerth are quieter and lower in scale, while Flingern, Bilk and Unterbilk carry the everyday activity of cafes, the university and the MedienHafen. Most of the districts listed sit within a short walk of a rapid-transit station.
