Despite being one of Düsseldorf's smallest boroughs by area, Stadtbezirk 1 includes several distinct quarters: the city's Medieval Altstadt is known as an entertainment district with plenty of Altbier pubs and bars, while the adjacent Baroque-style Carlstadt has a very Bohemian character. Stadtmitte is the city's shopping and central business district, extending into the three Gründerzeit quarters of Pempelfort, Derendorf and Golzheim - the latter three also being popular as both business locations and residential areas. The entire borough has a high density of institutions and enterprises associated with the arts and culture in general.
The borough shares borders (clockwise from north) with Düsseldorf boroughs 5, 6, 2, 3 and - over the Rhine - Borough 4.
