Ü = UE, hence shouldn't the town be spelled Duesseldorf?

No, it should be named Düsseldorf, and I just moved it there in accordance with the updated Wikitravel:Article_naming_conventions#Romanization. Jpatokal 08:49, 10 May 2005 (EDT)

What is this about "Dusseldorf" meaning "dummy" or "fool"? Never heard that before, nor can I find anything to support that in dictionaries (online or otherwise). Was that written by a Kölner?

[edit] Taxi?

I think taxis should be mentioned in the "getting around" section. I had a particularly bad experience. I took a cab from the intl. airport to a nearby hotel (the hotel said the fare was 8-9€) this taxi does not start the meter and asks for 20. --Shreyasjoshis 06:12, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
