Through San Francisco runs Market Street, Amsterdam has the Kalverstraat, Singapore touts Orchard Road and London spells Oxford Street. Düsseldorf is home to the Königsallee, or "Die Kö" as it is popularly known. Down the middle runs a canal spanned by picturesque bridges and on one side of that canal is a shopper's paradise. Armani, Gucci, Rolex, Cartier, Swarovski, Louis Vuitton, to name a few, all are after your Euros. Needless to say, that I just went window shopping. Keep your wallet tightly closed while we stroll along Die Kö. 
It is a warm Sunday afternoon and everybody is out enjoying themselves. A typical European institution is the terrace in front of just about every restaurant and cafe, where one can people watch while sipping coffee, or having a snack or Mittag. |
