Six urban art walks

We show you where you can discover art now.

Walking is the hobby of the moment and not only keeps your legs moving. Street art also inspires the mind as you walk through Düsseldorf's districts: from colorful to thought-provoking, there is always new art on facades and windows.

Pine Street

This is where it all began: Kiefernstraße, which made headlines in the 1980s for its squatter scene, has long been known for its colorful, street art-style facades.

Toulouse Avenue

The two parks parallel to Toulouser Allee are more than just the green lungs of the still young "Quartier Central" district. A visit is also worthwhile for architecture and street art fans. For the latter, there is plenty to see, especially under the Jülich Bridge. And while you're there: Birdie & Co. serves great coffee and delicious banana bread.

Stop and smell the roses - Walk-By Exhibition

Places for art have been created in the lockdown where hair is usually cut or food served. "Stop and smell the roses" is the name of the campaign, in which the shop windows of six cafés and a hairdresser create a walk-by exhibition. On display are poster prints of works by students at the art academy.

Roberto aka R.F. Art

Urban mash-up artist Roberto (aka R.F. Art) creates posters from graphic elements that don't actually fit together but make new sense when put together. He sticks them in spontaneously selected places in Düsseldorf. The works have different lifespans. Sometimes it is only a few days, sometimes several months. So keep your eyes peeled, maybe you'll spot one near you. Or you might be lucky enough to see the original "Strange Society" at Burgplatz.

Bilk

Six urban art spots await you in Bilk between Suitbertusstrasse and Bachstrasse. These include the side view of a woman by Irish artist Fin DAC and the "Time Travelers" at the bunker on Aachener Straße.

Works of art in the open air

Whether Kö-Bogen, Hofgarten or Altstadt - in Düsseldorf you can also discover exciting art outside the museums. Here are our tips to turn your next stroll through the city into your own personal art walk.
