Marktplatz
Düsseldorf's Marktplatz gathers the Rathaus and Jan Wellem's equestrian statue into a compact civic space within the Altstadt. The equestrian monument anchors the middle.

The square gives you the city's public face in one glance: brick façades around the edge and a ruler on horseback at the centre. It works as a brief, specific heritage stop between the lanes and Burgplatz, rather than another general Old Town walk.
What to look for
The Rathaus frontage.
The Jan Wellem equestrian statue.
Useful to know
Walk around the statue for different views of the civic buildings; check whether an event occupies the square.
