Cycling day trip from Monheim am Rhein to Düsseldorf

Set off from Monheim am Rhein, a charming town right on the banks of the Rhine, famous for its well-preserved old town and the super-cool “Gänseliesel” fountain. The ride to Düsseldorf is about 23 km—perfect for a half-day tour! Most of the way you’ll cruise along smooth, quiet paths and back roads, so it’s easy to stay relaxed and enjoy the scenery (plus, you won’t have much traffic to worry about).

The route is almost entirely paved, with a nice mix of asphalt and paving stones—suitable for any type of bike. There’s hardly any climbing, so it’s comfortable even if you’re not a hill lover!

You’ll finish right in the heart of Düsseldorf, a lively city known for its fashion scene, tasty Altbier, and the beautiful riverside promenade. Make sure to reward yourself with a stroll through the Altstadt, or maybe park your bike for a quick visit to the Rhine Tower for awesome views. This is a ride where the journey is as pleasant as the destination!
