Shopping Düsseldorf Style
Catwalk
Kö-Bogen
I am standing on the forecourt of the Kö-Bogen in the most beautiful sunny weather. I look towards the horizon and lose myself in the reflections of the impressive Daniel Libeskind building. Before I completely get carried away by my thoughts, a loud laughter awakens me from my architectural dreams.
Three illustrious ladies have met under the imposing parasols for a glass of French sparkling wine. The trio is perfectly styled. Even though their handbags have been placed on the table, I can tell which creation belongs to which lady. Everything is just right in terms of color, shape and style. This is probably their aperitif for the day –“shopping Düsseldorf style”. I also treat myself with a glass of champagne, enjoy the colorful hustle and bustle at the bar and stroll on towards the Hofgarten. Especially from here the building of the star architect looks iconic.
As soon as the weather permits, tourists and locals alike enjoy culinary delights and an Aperol Spritz at the top Italian restaurant and bar Poccino. Today I’m in the mood to pamper myself and celebrate the sunshine with an ice cream from Manzoni Gelato – with fresh and sweet strawberries as topping. I take a seat on the steps with a perfect view on the Hofgarten. The Steigenberger Park-Hotel, vis-à-vis to the Kö-Bogen, appears in graceful grandeur. It is exceptional here, that much is certain.
In addition to the culinary delights, countless shopping opportunities, ranging from high-end fashion at Breuninger and Co., to luxury chronometers at Rüschenbeck or the latest technology gadgets at Apple, invite you to let your credit card glow. No matter whether you travel by train, on foot, by bicycle or carefree by car to the premium underground car park, many roads lead to the Kö-Bogen and give you the feeling of having spent a few hours on vacation
