The first time when I was visiting Düsseldorf, because of the timing, I missed the Medienhafen and…read morethen later I saw this place full of weird looking buildings online, I decided next time I would like to pay a visit. When I see a cool architecture, I just like to take my time to appreciate it. So here I came again to visit this city again, this time I wouldn't miss it. Medienhafen isn't so close to the other tourist attractions, well, quite close to the Rheinturm, I walked from the old town to this area, it took around 30 minutes. The thing is I didn't just walk straight here, It was more like a visitor, checking things out. The walk was great, I really like it. So there couple of the buildings in medienhafen, they were all really similar style. The main different people could just spot at once was the color. They got white, red and sliver. I like the sliver one realy, looked really modern and cool. There was a café around, great for visitor who just wants to sit down and enjoy the view. Around this area also got couple other cool buildings. Although I am not so sure what some of the buildings really for, this is sure one of the place that visitor should not miss when they in the city. It's really modern and beautiful here. I was glad that this time I got the chance to see it with my own eye and touch it and the view here just brilliant.

I was fortunate that on my third and final day in Düsseldorf, the weather cleared up. If it's cloudy or overcast, skip it. An easy €9 with absolutely no wait this afternoon though I did have to wait a little bit for the elevator operator to dispense some bottled water to his buddies and socialize with them for about ten minutes. Whatever. Other than that, I had a private elevator to the top. Well, not to the top top, just to the observation deck which stands at 170 meters - 558 feet. A full 360 degree view of Düsseldorf and it cannot be beat. I could see my hotel from there, the entire curving river, the wind turbines on the horizon and all the places I visited during my three days in Düsseldorf. I managed to time my visit just right with sunset and most of the windows were clean enough that I was able to get a great view. There is a small cafe and bar on the observation deck but you're not obligated to buy anything. Just look out the windows, take your pictures, and then ride the elevator back down to street level. Bonus fact: The blinking lights on the side of the Rheinturm indicate the current time. Hours, minutes, seconds. It is the largest digital clock in the world!
