Garath: Green Spaces, Culture and Architecture

Garath brings together several different attractions for a trip: plenty of green spaces, links to two large natural areas, as well as culture and architecture. If you’re looking for hotels in Garath, you can start by considering whether you’d like to focus your stay primarily on landscapes, events or architectural sights.

Green spaces and natural areas

Garath has plenty of green spaces and is connected to the two large natural areas of Urdenbacher Kämpe and Garather Forst. The green spaces reflect the district’s leafy character; Urdenbacher Kämpe and Garather Forst are distinct attractions in their own right as larger natural areas. If you’re considering nature and culture side by side when planning your trip, you can make these natural areas a focus of their own. The two names give the topic of landscapes a specific direction, while Kulturhaus Süd and the architectural sights show other sides of Garath.

Architecture in Garath

Garath’s most notable architectural sights include Schloss Garath and St. Matthäus Church. The architect Gottfried Böhm is associated with the church. For architecture enthusiasts, this gives you a second specific point of interest alongside the castle: you can explore the sights and also consider the name of an architect as part of your visit to Garath’s church. This means the architectural selection is not limited to a single building.

Kulturhaus Süd: events and other offerings

Kulturhaus Süd is a public cultural venue in Garath. Its facilities and activities include an arena hall with 320 seats, cultural events, a cinema, a café, course and seminar rooms, and the district library. The different spaces bring events and other cultural offerings together under one roof. If you’re choosing Garath for a particular cultural event, check the current programme in advance: the venue’s facilities are permanent, but the events programme changes.

Getting to Kulturhaus Süd

You can reach Kulturhaus Süd on S-Bahn lines S6 and S68, and by buses 778, 779, 789 and SB57. Both S-Bahn and bus services are therefore options for your journey. If access by public transport is important when choosing a hotel, factor in this connection to Kulturhaus Süd. Check the route information before travelling, as transport details may change.

Düsseldorf: Hofgarten and Schloss Benrath

Düsseldorf is home to Hofgarten, the city’s oldest public park. It covers around 27 hectares and features a large expanse of water and numerous sculptures. This gives the park its own connection to landscapes and culture in the context of Düsseldorf. Transport connections to Schloss Benrath are another topic: the U72 runs from Ratingen through the city centre to the “Schloss Benrath” stop. The S6, RE1 and RE5 go to Benrath S-Bahn station; from there, it’s a ten-minute walk to the castle. Check transport connections before travelling, as routes and stops may change.

Food and culture in Düsseldorf

At Düsseldorf’s Carlsplatz, you can discover traditional German home cooking as well as Italian, Indian, French and Persian dishes. The square is also a destination for food shopping. In Düsseldorf’s Little Tokyo, you can explore Japanese culture and cuisine. Düsseldorf’s traditional breweries maintain the brewing tradition and bring the city’s brewery culture to life. The restaurants at the Kasematten along the Rhine embankment offer views; the offerings of individual establishments may change.
