Bar & Lounge M 168

You can drink at great heights while soaking up amazing views of the city from one of the many sky-high bars in the MedienHafen (Media Harbor). The best-known (and most popular with tourists) is Bar & Lounge M 168 in the Rheinturm, Düsseldorf’s iconic needle-shaped telecommunications tower. The sleekly designed M 168—so named because it rises 168 meters (or around 550 feet) above the city—offers a 40-cocktail-strong menu that’s relatively affordable considering the stellar panoramic views (drinks average around 12 euro).
