Transport Düsseldorf is located at the centre of Europe. It has Germany’s third biggest airport and as such, has a wide variety of connections to many European and international cities. Since the founding of Eurowings (Lufthansa’s budget airline), it is fairly cheap to reach Düsseldorf. Along with Ryanair’s base in nearby Weeze and the airport in Cologne, there are plenty of cheap options to reach Düsseldorf by plane. International connections include: New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bejing and Singapore.
