The best time to visit Düsseldorf depends on a range of factors including your budget and the climate.

Like the UK, Germany experiences all four seasons. November to March are the coldest months, with temperatures rarely creeping over 10℃. There’s also the most chance of rain during these months. April is when temperatures start to pick up and June to August are the hottest months, with temperatures averaging 26℃ before it drops slightly in September.

While late spring to summer is great if you have plans to do any outdoor activities, April and September are also ideal months to travel if you want pleasant temperatures and the least chance of rain.

On the other hand, if you’re hoping to snatch up a bargain whilst avoiding the holiday crowds, then booking a trip sometime between January to March or October to November will yield some of the cheapest results as the demand for flights will be lower.

Düsseldorf is a hub for fashion and art with a beautiful mix of traditional and modern architecture. Over a million tourists visit every year, so you can bet there are plenty of things to see and do each day during your stay.
