Düsseldorf has a lot of modern architecture, art museums and highrises but also historical buildings. The city has many banks, insurance companies and an active stock exchange. Düsseldorf is one of the city's in Germany that has the largest number of tall buildings. On top of that it has Rheinturm (Rhine Tower), a really tall TV tower (241m) and a symbol of Düsseldorf, completed in 1981, and three large and tall bridges (114-145 m, Rheinkniebrücke from 1979 is the tallest) above the River Rhine. In the East part of the city you find the city's tallest building, ARAG Tower. It is 124m tall, has 32 floors and was built in 2000. The skyscraper is curved and is the head office of the ARAG insurance company, that also has other buildings in the area, but it is the only highrise in the neighbourhood. In the East part you also find Toulouser Allee, that has new highrise hotels. At Graf-Adolf-Platz in the end of Köngisallee, you find the GAP15 from 2005 and Landesversicherungsanstalt from 1976, that is the city's 2nd tallest skyscraper at 123m and 29 floors. Along the Rheinuferpromenade is the Victoria-Hochhaus (ERGO Tower) and the Vodafone Hochhaus. Near Little Tokyo and the station is Stadtsparkasse and Landzentralbank, so many banks and insurance companies have tall buildings. Dreischeibenhaus (Thyssenhaus) is a sleak, long highrise at Gustaf-Grundgens-Platz, that is an ultramodern central square. Basilica St. Lambertus, facing Rhine and Rheinuferpromenade, is both the tallest church and the city's oldest building. Next to it is the Schlossturm, the Castle Tower.

In Medienhafen, a modern post-industrial commerical harbour area, you find several new highrises; SIGN, Colorium and Hyatt Regency. Here is also Frank Gehry's Neues Zollhof, three apartment buildings only 15 floors tall but significant for their sloping shapes in silver, red and white, and facing the harbour. Stadttor is a parallelogram shaped office building with a 15-storey atrium, built in 1998.

Wilhelm-Marx-Haus, known for it’s “Pensil” advertisement on top, is Germany’s oldest highrise (57m, built in 1922) and is in the city center.
