MIWC Tourist Office





There is not much time for sightseeing in these World Cup days. On the other hand the winter season is not an appropriate period to find a lot of attractions open. We therefore will concentrate on a few recommendations.


Krefeld - Kaiser-Wilhelm Museum
This museum has gained an international reputation through active commitment to contemporary art. After being closed for 6 years for general renovation the museum reopened last year. It is open from Tuesday to Sunday 11 am to 5 pm.

Köln - Cologne
The distance between Krefeld and Köln is about 60 km or a one hour ride by train or car. Most visited is the wonderful cathedral of Cologne just opposite the Central station. It is generally recommended to take the train..

Düsseldorf
Well kown for the famous "Old town" Düsseldorf is at a 30 km distance to Krefeld. Take any kind of public transport.

some advanced information



If you'd like to go outside Krefeld it is strongly recommended not to use the car but the public transport. A ride in the
train is far less stressful and at the end much more cheaper compared with the use of a rental car. Best to do is buy a
group ticket. At Krefeld Central Station there are sufficient parking possibilities. Please click the green buttons if you would like to look for train service and connection.


Deutsche Bahn
Rheinbahn

the cologne cathedral



One of the highest buildings in Cologne, constructed in the 13th century and always worth to be visited. It's a 40 minutes ride departing from Krefeld Central Station and arriving at Cologne Central Station. The cathedral is in front of the station.


Der Hohe Dom zu Köln


The Cologne Cathedral



- Kaiser Wilhelm MuseuM - krefeld



Reopened last year after 6 years of intense renovation. Has international reputation. It presents and discusses internationally relevant positions in contemporary art. Currently are they showing a spectacular exhibition "The adventures of our collection" with works of Mondrian, Monet, Beuys, Klein, Warhol and others.


Kunstmuseum Krefeld



Düsseldorfer Altstadt


The "Old town" of Düsseldorf is also called the "longest bar in the world". More than 260 pubs are being find and where the next beer comes without it beeing ordered. But this district will also provide intellectual stimulation becouse this is where art and cultural venues are to be found.


Altstadt Düsseldorf



Where to find a Restaurant



If you like to enjoy national dishes outside the World Cup scene we think it is more than fair to give you some recommendation of restaurants in the City of Krefeld and if you prefere in the "Old Town" of Düsseldorf, an
hour away from Krefeld. Please click on the pictures for more information..
