The cherry blossoms are blooming, we’re hitting 17-degree temperatures, and Easter is just around the corner. If that doesn’t get you excited, I’ve got a little more excitement for you here. ⬇️

If you’re in Düsseldorf with little ones, you’re in luck. Although hard to find online (for some odd reason) the city is full of egg-citing (😉) kids easter events and activities to get you in the festive spirit. From traditional egg hunts to creative workshops, you can check them all out below.

👋 Hey, I’m Jenna!

The voice behind Life in Düsseldorf

I’m a German Canadian who moved to Düsseldorf over a decade ago, and like many of you, I had a million questions when I arrived. From trying to figure out how health insurance works in Germany to wondering where the best bakery is (spoiler: it’s Bülle 🍞), I’ve been through it all.

So I created Life in Düsseldorf to help make your transition smoother — whether you’re moving to Germany, already living here, or just curious about life abroad. My mission? To make you feel a little less overwhelmed and a lot more at home.
