Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf, capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, is a centre of fashion, advertising and business, with the elegant Königsallee, the lively Altstadt along the Rhine and the large Messe Düsseldorf trade fair grounds. Exhibitors with equipment, executives and families relocating with luggage often choose a private chauffeur from Geneva for a direct, door-to-door journey.
Chauffeur's tipThe Messe Düsseldorf lies in the north of the city near the airport; book the right hall entrance and allow extra time during large trade fairs.
The route from Geneva Airport to Düsseldorf
From Geneva, the chauffeur crosses the Swiss Plateau to Basel and enters Germany, then follows the A5 motorway north through the Upper Rhine plain past Freiburg and Karlsruhe to the Frankfurt area. The A3 then crosses the Taunus and the Westerwald to Cologne, and continues north through the Rhine-Ruhr region to Düsseldorf. Depending on traffic, the chauffeur may use the A61 for part of the journey.
Arriving in Düsseldorf
The chauffeur drives you directly to your hotel or office on the Königsallee, in the MedienHafen, in the Altstadt or in residential districts such as Oberkassel. The Messe Düsseldorf exhibition grounds and Düsseldorf Airport are served door to door. AirportsTransfers.ch can also take you on to Duisburg, Essen, Krefeld or other cities of the Rhine-Ruhr area, and return trips to Geneva are easy to book in advance.
Practical advice for the journey
At around seven hours of driving, this is a full-day trip with regular breaks, so an early start is recommended. The motorways around Cologne and the Ruhr are often congested at rush hour, so allow a buffer before evening plans. Business travellers can work in the E-Class or S-Class sedan; exhibitors and families with more luggage choose the V-Class van, which carries up to ten bags, or a Sprinter minibus. Child seats are fitted on request.
