A view from the top



You can see all of the German city of Dusseldorf in just 72 minutes, writes Brian Byrne, and enjoy a glass of wine or a meal in the process.

That's from the top of the Rhine Tower, which features at 172.5 metres the rotating Günnewig Rheinturm Restaurant Top 180.

There's also Germany's highest bar just below at 168 metres high.



There's an excellent cuisine in the restaurant, and it's not overpriced either with good lunch mains available from around €12.

The restaurant rotates in 72 minutes, providing on a good day a most excellent panorama of the city and the busy Rhine below.

The Günnewig Bar & Lounge offers coffee by day and cocktails in the in the evenings. It can be privately booked for family and corporate events of up to 150 people.

The Rhine Tower also has the world’s largest decimal clock as well as a world time clock in the entrance.

Doesn't it make the Dublin Spire seem such a wasted opportunity?
