Best time to go to Dusseldorf

Dusseldorf’s weather forecast doesn’t differ much from the one you get back at home. June, July and August are its sunniest months, with temperatures levelling off around the mid-twenties. In January and February, meanwhile, the mercury only just rests above freezing on the city’s coldest days. Downpours of rain can happen at any time, so it’s best to be prepared for wet weather whenever you’re visiting.

Passports & Visas

Irish citizens don’t need a visa to enter Germany but must have a valid passport. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit www.dfa.ie/travel/travel-advice/a-z-list-of-countries/germany

Health & Safety

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. It’s also a good idea to get a European Health Insurance Card – or EHIC – before leaving Ireland. Though it’s not a substitute for travel insurance, it entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as German nationals. It won't, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment.
