I've hundreds of cards from Germany but I believe this is my 1st card from Düsseldorf, which is a surprise considering that the city is the capital city of North Rhine-Westphalia, the most populous state of Germany. It is the second-largest city in the state and the seventh-largest city in Germany. I bet many postcrossers live there but this isn't a Postcrossing card. It was sent by my coworker and friend Natália, who has recently been to Düsseldorf to visit her son and meet her newborn granddaugther.

Modern art and style meet centuries-old structures and historic sites in this vibrant city full of unique attractions.
Düsseldorf’s worldly appeal is nothing new. Napoleon himself fell for the charms of this city on the Rhine, dubbing it 'Little Paris'. Founded 730 years ago, the capital of the North-Rhine Westphalia state is certainly steeped in history, most evident in the narrow, cobbled streets of the picturesque medieval Old Town. But the city has a sophisticated modern edge, too. Gleaming new architecture has transformed the skyline, and the ever-expanding arts scene – 26 museums and 100-plus galleries – rivals that of much larger cities. Add to that stylish shopping, vibrant nightlife and great restaurants, and there are more than enough attractions in Düsseldorf to keep any visitor busy. - in: https://www.timeout.com
