Niederrhein Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Weeze/Niederrhein is a Ryanair and Wizz Air airport geared towards low-cost flyers: Düsseldorf city is about 80 km away, reachable by direct bus in just over an hour or by train with a change at Kevelaer. Because of this, many travellers stay in the Lower Rhine countryside around the airport rather than heading all the way into the city: a few minutes by car there is both a hotel designed for those with a dawn or late-night flight, and two historic castles with a park and bike rental, for anyone who wants to extend the stop between one flight and the next.
