We recently went on a stag weekend to Dusseldorf and I can say the place is fantastically suited for this type of occasion! While the cheaper hotels may be slightly out of the town centre, the public transport system is cheap, efficient and clean, with trams every 10minutes, so getting the troops in and out to the many pubs and bars is not a problem. The main area to go is the Altstadt found by the Rhine, where more bars than I've ever seen in one area before can be found, many of which stay open til the early hours and serve tons of different beers at a reasonable price (2E for 330mL). The city itself is very clean and pleasant, the people friendly and incredibly helpful, while the Altstadt also seems to be the main area for
German hen parties to go out (we ran into six separate lots!), so there is no shortage of fine frauleins out for a good time! On the food front, sadly kebabs ARE available, but I would recommend trying the excellent local hotdogs or schweinfleisch mit brochen (hog roast baps) instead. Word of warning - if you're flying in to
Dusseldorf Weeze airport, it is about 1hour from town, so get the airport bus (11E each) as opposed to grabbing a taxi (110E).
