Under $100 / Europe

Düsseldorf is the fashion capital of Germany and although it is found in the middle of Germany’s Ruhrgebiet, not known for its natural beauty, the city is a pleasant oasis. Transport from Düsseldorf Airport into the city is simple, fast and inexpensive. Consider buying a 24-hour ticket for roughly $12. This will allow you access to the city all day via multiple types of transport.

Not many people know Düsseldorf has a relatively large Japanese population so get lunch at Naniwa. A delicious bowl of ramen is available for around $15. From here, head to the main drag for window shopping. Peruse the high-end fashion houses for free. After lunch, explore the old town. Here, you can enjoy Düsseldorf’s classic architecture and old town square. Grab a coffee at one of the city’s many coffee roasters. Rosterei Vier is particularly good.

From the old city, access the Rhein for a long walk before hopping on a tram and heading to a museum like the Museumkunstpalast for around $15. In the evening, take in a traditional brewery like Schumachers for some classic German food and regional beer for around $30. Prost!
