Map of Stadtbezirk 1, D%C3%BCsseldorf, Germany
Despite being one of Düsseldorf's smallest districts by area, Stadtbezirk 1 includes several distinct quarters: the city's Medieval Altstadt is known as an entertainment district with plenty of Altbier pubs and bars, while the adjacent Baroque-style Carlstadt has a very Bohemian character. Stadtmitte is the city's shopping and central business district, extending into the three Gründerzeit quarters of Pempelfort, Derendorf and Golzheim - the latter three also being popular as both business locations and residential areas. The entire district has a high density of institutions and enterprises associated with the arts and culture in general.
The district shares borders (clockwise from north) with Düsseldorf districts 5, 6, 2, 3 and - over the Rhine - District 4.
Subdivisions
District 1 is made up of six Stadtteile (city parts):

Transportation
As the business center of Düsseldorf, District 1 is well served by numerous railway stations and highway. Largest train station is Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof, other stations include Düsseldorf Wehrhahn and a dense net of both Düsseldorf Stadtbahn underground- and Rheinbahn tram-stations. The Rheinufertunnel is part of Bundesstraße 1 and runs some 2 km along the right Rhine side, diverting car traffic away from the streets. Two large bridges cross the river into the left-Rhenish district of Oberkassel.
