Homelessness. Poverty. Addiction. Street life.
Terms we know. But what exactly is behind them? How does it come about and who are the people behind these terms? Get to know Düsseldorf from a different perspective on this city tour. The city guides are sellers of the homeless newspaper 'fiftyfifty' and were themselves at home on the streets.
The two-hour city tour - 'the only flat viewing without a roof' - strengthens understanding of homelessness and poverty and shows that Düsseldorf is not just a city of the rich, but a city of stark contrasts.
