Düsseldorf, a city of European stature with a cosmopolitan flair, almost limitless shopping opportunities, and a diverse culinary scene, is the green capital of the state, a city of fine arts, and a site of the latest and often avant-garde architecture. Its unique and spacious location along the Rhine brings a constant fresh breeze to the trade fair city. The blend of the tried-and-true with the new, of tradition and modernity, makes the heart of the city beat. Architectural photographer Florian Monheim, who lives in Düsseldorf, captures this exciting juxtaposition in his images. He takes the viewer on a journey through his city, which stretches between the Imperial Palace of Kaiserswerth in the north and the Baroque Palace of Benrath in the south, offering countless facets. The book explores the city from the inside out: the approach along the Rhine is followed by a presentation of the highlights.
