I am an Engineer by profession, traveler by choice and a keen learner in things that really draw my attention. I really like to try my hands on a lot of stuff, be it good food, some new art, adventure games or anything else! In short, a person with varied interests! I quit my full-time IT job twice, and both breaks helped me travel a lot. I feel blessed by the things that have happened to me in my life, be it education, work or relocation. London is my current home, I plan to be here until a new abode calls me with open arms!

Looking for a place where you can admire art, palace and gardens all at once in Dusseldorf? Schloss Benrath is the place you should visit! This fine architecture is a suggested UNESCO World Heritage Centre. It is a preferred summer tourist attraction especially because the gardens, the pond, the river and the palace (Schloss) look their best during this time of the year! However, the winter season too is interesting as it offers a different view of the same edifice.

This is a perfect place for nature lovers and an ideal destination for cyclists who want to wander around and still have fun. A walk through the gardens can be a refreshing experience too. There are three museums here—one in the main building (Corps de Logis), another is a landscape art museum (Museum für Europäische Gartenkunst) and the third is a natural history museum (Museum für Naturkunde). There are guided tours available for these museums. However, most visitors enjoy the beauty outside these museums than the ones displayed within.
