More meeting places in Düsseldorf: MedienHafen, Seestern and the Ruhr
Beyond the Kö and Berliner Allee, these destinations come into question for company visits:

The former harbour with the Gehry buildings at Neuer Zollhof is home to media, advertising and consulting firms; right next to it are the NRW state parliament and the Rheinturm. From Düsseldorf Airport: approx. 11 km, about 15 min without traffic.
Kennedydamm, Seestern and Airport City
Kennedydamm in Golzheim is lined with office towers for services and administration, almost 10,000 people work in the Seestern quarter on the left bank of the Rhine, traditionally in IT and telecoms, and Airport City right next to the airport houses corporate headquarters and associations. From the airport: approx. 6, 8 and 1 km.

Reserves for Düsseldorf rush hour
In the morning and late afternoon, journeys between the airport, the Kö and MedienHafen take longer than without traffic. We therefore plan reserves between investors and align them with your schedule.
