Friday
Day One
Arrive, walk the Rhine promenade, then the Millennium production under the arena's closing roof

Rhine Embankment Promenade
The riverside walk from the Altstadt to the Rhine Tower — Düsseldorf's living room on a warm evening, with the Alt beer gardens facing the sunset.
●
Backstreet Boys — Into the Millennium at Merkur Spiel-Arena
The full Las Vegas Sphere-era Millennium production restaged for their only European stop — ten nights, 50,000 a night, roof closed if it rains. U78 tram from the centre in 20 minutes; doors 18:00.

Saturday
Day Two
Altstadt brewery crawl and the Gehry buildings — Düsseldorf's two personalities in one day
●
Altstadt — the Longest Bar in the World
300 pubs in half a square kilometre. Do the Altbier ritual properly: Uerige, Füchschen, Schumacher — the waiter keeps bringing 250ml glasses until you put your coaster on top.
●
MedienHafen
Frank Gehry's leaning white, red and mirrored trio on the old docks — the city's architecture flex, best photographed from the Living Bridge.
●
Rheinturm
The 240 m Rhine Tower — go up just before sunset and watch the river bend glow; the bar at the top rotates slower than your Altbier count suggests.

Sunday
Day Three
Königsallee window-shopping and a Japanese lunch before the flight — Düsseldorf has Europe's third-largest Japanese community
●
Königsallee
The 'Kö' — a kilometre of flagship stores along a chestnut-lined canal. Even confirmed non-shoppers enjoy the promenade.
●
Immermannstraße — Little Tokyo
Ramen at Takumi or Naniwa (queue moves fast), then matcha and mochi from the Japanese bakeries — the correct sendoff before the airport.
