Hertz in Duesseldorf
Whether you spell it "Dusseldorf" or "Duesseldorf", you will find that this city stands in the far west of Germany as the capital of the North Rhine-Westphalia state. If you pick up a rental car in Dusseldorf you will find this old city on the River Rhine has become a thriving modern commercial centre. It is well organised for car drivers too: there is a loose ring of motorways around the outskirts, helping you avoid the worst of the jams. As it lies in the centre of the Rhine-Ruhr urban area you will also find good road connections to neighbouring cities like Cologne, Duisburg, Monchengladbach and Essen.
If you have a rental car in Dusseldorf you will be able to easily tour the central sights and the attractions further afield. The city's most noticeable landmark is the Rheinturm, a 175m telecommunications tower on the riverside. There is a revolving restaurant at the top. The region's acclaimed 20th century art collection is split across three galleries in the city centre, and do not miss the extraordinary modern curvilinear tower blocks along the waterfront at Neuer Zollhof. Away from the centre it is worth exploring the historic Kaiserworth district and the 18th-century Schloss Benrath palace set in impressive gardens and parkland.
