Exciting, central, lively

Oberbilk is one of Düsseldorf’s most vibrant and lively districts and is becoming more and more popular with students, due to its proximity to Heinrich Heine University. It extends from the main railway station to the Volksgarten and boasts international restaurants, cafés and shops. The neighbourhood is a former working-class district of Bilk, now offering a great cultural and culinary diversity. Variety is the order of the day: from historical sights to cafés, flower shops and bakeries, to the Oberbilker Markt south of the station, it provides everything you could wish for in a dynamic city centre.
