Karlstadt - city district directly adjoining the old town, featuring mansions, galleries, shops, antique shops, cafés and bars

Oberkassel – the attractive district on the other side of the Rhine, an enchanting mixture of different styles from neo-Renaissance, neobaroque and neoclassical through to Art Nouveau. And it's always worthwhile exploring the many bars and restaurants

Harbour - the MedienHafen is gradually evolving into a stylish district for media types, artists and politicians; the modern architecture is varied and worth seeing. Numerous bars and up-market restaurants provide an appropriate setting
