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

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.

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).
