Frank Gehry’s Neuer Zollhof
For our second day in Düsseldorf, we went for a cruise along the Rhine River. If you do an image search of Düsseldorf, Germany you can’t help but find photos of Frank Gehry’s Neuer Zollhof, comprised of three buildings that curve and lean made of white plaster, stainless steel, and brick, and the Rheinturm, Düsseldorf’s landmark and the world’s largest digital clock. I didn’t want to leave the city without seeing both! Luckily they’re located along the Rhine River and we were able see them on our cruise. After our hour boat ride, we went to one last brewery, Im Füchschen, for altbier and schnitzel. A perfect, relaxing way to end our weekend trip!

Can’t go to a microbrewery and without trying the beer!
Deciding what to order
Very serious decision!

Such a good lunch that day! Lot of photos of dear old dad this time. You must have taken a lot of the pictures. 🙂
The schnitzel was so delicious – and so much! Enjoyed having the leftovers for lunch the next day in Antwerp 🙂 Love you!
