kaiserpfalz kaiserswerth

The ruins are not that spectacular, we have seen others, but the little commercial centre is so cute and the athmosphere is greatly authentic and idylic. A little far from Düsseldorf centre, around 40 minutes by S-bahn, but it was worth the ride, the way there was in itself something very nice.

Lovely ruins of a small castle in the pretty town of Kaiserswerth. The ferry journey there was a lot faster than the return, which took twice as long due to the current. A nice way to spend a few hours!

These ruins in a park by the Rhine are definitely worth a short visit. They are free to get into, and the place is well signposted inside in German and English. The little village of Kaiserwerth next to it is lovely, we had a walk around. However, this is not a full day visit attraction. We were there about ninety minutes (including a walk by the Rhine), and felt we had seen it all. Best bit - it is all free to get into.

Lovely setting overlooking the river in a pretty little village on the edge of Dusseldorf. We travelled there by tram from the city centre but you can take a boat trip upto it. The ruined castle was interesting to visit and climb to the topfor a great view and there are lots of info points around the castle in English. A pleasant trip out of the city

Nice castle ruins with signs that do a great job explaining the historic significance of the castle. On it's own, not sure I would make the trip to see it but if you want to walk around Kaiserswerth and eat lunch, visit a bier garten or walk along the Rhein, it would make a nice afternoon. You can access it via the U79 tram. Get off at Klementzplatz and head across the street and towards the river. Plenty of places to eat near the tram stop and along the road down to the river.

Liked the magnificent architecture. Not very convenient for a short business tourist. Over all enjoyed the visit.

Lots of information to read about the history of the ruins, great river views, nice walks along the river bank and into the village of Kaiserswerth with bars and outdoor cafes. There is no charge to wander around the ruins.

This 1000-year-old site on the banks of the Rhein is easily reached by U79 tram (about 20 minutes) from the centre of Duesseldorf. Or take an hour boat trip - which is more expensive but some have unlimited beer or wine! From the tram stop you walk through a pretty main street full of nice cafes and restaurants to the river. The ruins themselves are fascinating and there are useful signs with explanations in German and English all over the site. There are two very pleasant open-air bars/restaurants on the river going south from the site just a few minutes. The ruins are closed from the end of October but open again on Good Friday.

In the medieval town of Kaiserswerth you will find these fabulous castle remains. Plenty of places to eat and drink around the castle. Biergarten along the Rhine. You must not forget the 10km cycle or jogging tour along the Rhine straight into the heart of the Düsseldorf Altstadt. Good idea for (the very quiet German) Sundays. And always worth repeating

another great way to experience history hands on, the Kaiserpfalz is an old ruin which can be explored by walking around it or climbing the steps of a 1000+ year old artifacts dating back to the roman age. Summertime is the best time to go as there are plenty of outdoor restaurant and cafe's along the river rhine setting to enjoy.

We got a boat from the Old Town to Kaiserswerth, it takes about an hour each way and costs 18EUR but you get free beer and wine so it pretty much pays for itself. The boat trip is lovely and you pass some lovely areas. Kaiserswerth itself is a small village and it is really nice to take a look around at all the old architecture. A couple of minutes walk from the main village, along a lovely tree lined walk way by the river, are the ruins of an ancient castle which has been partially restored. There is information about the history and it is amazing to think that it was built over a thousand years ago. The village has some nice pubs and restaurants and, weather permitting, there are tables set up in the main square. We spent about 3 hours there which is long enough to see everything (at a leisurely pace) and stop for some more beer!

Magnificent ancient ruined castle beside the Rhine in picturesque Kaiserswerth. They built things to last in those days.

Kaiserswerth is like a small village. Small shops, lots of old buildings, museums and churches. It is really nice to walk around there. Metro/bus stop is right before the market place. Some buildings can be visited. We had lunch at Galerie Burghof. Great food and not expensive. This is a must visit when you are in Düsseldorf.

While in Dusseldorf, with limited time, we decided to take a short Rhine Cruise to Kaiserswerth-- a popular destination. The main goal of many passengers was to guzzle as much free beer as possible before having to get off the boat. The boat's staff were great. We got to Kaiserswerth after a short cruise on a Sunday. Nothing was open including the cathedral, the main attraction, which is closed for renovation. Pretty medieval town however after 15 minutes of passing one closed shop after another and desperately seeking the WC, we were ready to go back. Not worth doin until the cathedral reopens in my opinion.

Основная достопримечательность Кайзерверта - это развалины Императорского замка XI века. Сами развалины, на мой взгляд, ничего особенного из себя не представляют, а вот приятный уютный городок на берегу Рейна очень понравился.
