Around Kö-Bogen

The Neighbourhood.

Places that shape Düsseldorf. Where architecture, culture and hospitality meet.

The special neighbourhood of Kö-Bogen

Between Königsallee and the Hofgarten, culture and architecture, tradition and modernity, there is a great deal to discover around Kö-Bogen. We introduce the places, institutions and buildings that shape its neighbourhood and make this part of Düsseldorf one of the most varied urban spaces in the city centre.

Few places stand for modern Düsseldorf as clearly as Kö-Bogen: for striking architecture, urban life and a location right at the heart of the city. Its character is also defined by its immediate surroundings. Culture, hospitality, science and recreation are only a few steps apart here.

Some of Düsseldorf's best known addresses are in the immediate neighbourhood: hotels rich in tradition, renowned cultural institutions and green retreats in the middle of the city centre. International guests meet the people of Düsseldorf, business travellers meet culture enthusiasts, urban life meets the calm of the Hofgarten.
