With a small radio card in your car, the barriers open automatically - without you having to take out a ticket. You can pay your parking fees conveniently and transparently at the end of the month. In addition, you can effectively reduce the amount of your parking fees by purchasing from evopark credit partners.

Deutsche Bahn Special Offers

The Rheinbahn operates an extensive network of tram, bus and underground lines in Düsseldorf. With the underground, you can cover the distance between the main station and the old town in just a few minutes. Thanks to the connection to the Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association (VRR), Düsseldorf forms a uniform tariff area with the local transport facilities of the surrounding area and the surcharge-free trains of Deutsche Bahn. This also makes it easy to reach the Düsseldorf Trade Fair Centre without traffic jams. 
In addition, mobil.nrw offers another attractive service for getting around the city (quite spontaneously) by public transport. With eezy.nrw, guests can check in and out at stops by means of geographic positioning on their mobile phones, so that only the actually travelled distance serves as the basis for calculation.

For night owls:
On Friday and Saturday nights and before public holidays, a Rheinbahn NachtExpress is available from the main station. In addition, there are occasional trams and buses to the surrounding areas. More information on the Rheinbahn night network can be found here. (Source: Rheinbahn AG)
