Souvenirs are a fun part of any trip because they are tangible memories of time enjoyed and loved, and they’re also great conversation starters once back home – each souvenir, whether expensive or free, chanced upon or diligently hunted down, tells a story. Several shops in Dusseldorf sell unique souvenirs, as well as the usual standbys to help you cherish your memories of Dusseldorf for years.

Dusseldorf Tourist Office

Hotel

Dusseldorf’s Tourism Office is a great first stop for any visitor to the city. Not only can travellers get all their questions about Dusseldorf answered, book hotel rooms on the spot, and buy city and travel cards, they can get all their souvenir shopping done in one go. The tourist office offers a comprehensive range of fridge magnets, bags, t-shirts, caps, gummy candy, picture postcards, keychains and the like.

Souvenir

Shop

Enjoying a prime location in the heart of Dusseldorf Altstadt, the aptly named Souvenir shop has an impressive collection of memorabilia unique to Dusseldorf and Germany. Apart from postcards, t-shirts, caps and fridge magnets, visitors are spoiled for choice with a vast range of intricately designed beer steins, tableware (cutlery, display plates, glasses and cups), nutcracker figurines, cuckoo clocks and more. Plus, Souvenir is happy to bubble-wrap purchases for shoppers.

Museum, Shop

Dusseldorf is proud of its famous, delicious mustard, and visitors simply cannot afford to leave the city before sampling some. Nestled in the busy Altstadt, Löwensenf Senfladen entices visitors with its amazing varieties of mustard, including flavours such as honey mustard, red wine and plum mustard, beer mustard, coconut curry mustard, extra-strong mustard, stewed apple mustard and even Christmas mustard – all as delicious as they sound. Attached to the shop is a little museum which, for a small fee, provides a guided tour of this amazing world of condiments.

La Differenza

La Differenza spells heaven for food connoisseurs and those looking for edible souvenirs. Visitors find themselves in the middle of a mind-numbing range of delicious-smelling olive oils, vinegars, salad dressings, pesto, chocolates and specialty liqueurs from Dusseldorf as well as from other parts of Germany – all available in attractive gift containers, bottles and boxes. Shoppers can explore this cheerful, tastefully decorated store to their hearts’ content while enjoying soothing Mediterranean music.

Grocery shops and supermarkets

Dusseldorf has a number of home breweries, and Altbier (old beer) – darker than regular beer and unanimously agreed to be delicious – is unique to the city. Visiting beer lovers must make it a point to pick up a few bottles or cans of Altbier from any convenience store or supermarket in Dusseldorf (like Aldi, Rewe, Kaufland or Lidl).

Bookstores

Even the smallest bookstores around the city inevitably have a collection of Dusseldorf souvenirs pertaining. Besides postcards and fridge magnets, many shops have posters and photographs of historic events that took place in Dusseldorf.
