KönigsalleeKönigsallee is a upmarket boulevard in the city of Düsseldorf, capital of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, known for the canal that runs through it as well as for the luxury shops that are on its sides, being the most elegant shopping street in Germany.
One of the Düsseldorf’s flagships and the city’s shopping mile: Königsallee. Affectionately known as the “Kö”, the road is home to numerous luxurious and renowned brands. But Königsallee is more than just a shopping paradise. It is a real tourist attraction, if only thanks to its architectural peculiarities. The restored houses, the fountains, bridges and the ornate railings give the mile its characteristic appearance. Various elements were specially designed exclusively for the Kö: lamps, bollards, clocks, telephone boxes and kiosks are tailor-made in the truest sense of the word. Since 1994, Königsallee has been classified as a historical monument.
Königsallee is popular not only amongst Düsseldorf’s residents and visitors, but also amongst retailers. The boulevard is home to one renowned company after another. Whether fashion, jewellery, household goods or culinary delights – the Allee has plenty to offer. There are also two huge shopping centres directly on Königsallee. However, the glamour mile also serves as a sort of catwalk for many fashion fans: see and be seen is the motto of the Allee. And with a bit of luck, you might even be able to spot one or another celebrity shopping on the world famous Königsallee.
