Karlstadt is one of Düsseldorf's most attractive historic quarters, with streets of 18th-century Baroque architecture south of the Altstadt. Its particular draw is the concentration of antique dealers, art galleries, and design shops along Bilker Straße and the surrounding lanes.
This is the neighbourhood to visit if you are looking for prints, maps, 20th-century furniture, or works by lesser-known artists from the Rhine region. The streets are pedestrian-friendly and the atmosphere is unhurried compared to the Königsallee.
