Public transport tickets for a few days in Düsseldorf?
I'm going to be spending 3 days in Düsseldorf, for a mixture of work and holiday, so I'm going to need to do a fair bit of travelling around the city to get to both meetings and sightseeing/museums/etc.
Are there any public transport tickets I could get which would cover me for the three days for a number of journeys, to avoid needing to buy individual tickets each trip? And if so, is it possible to get one that covers both the city centre area and the trip to/from the airport? Or would I be better off getting a return ticket from the airport into town, and then some sort of multi-trip/multi-day ticket once I'm there?

I live in D'dorf and what @Peter Hahndorf says is the right option. If you plan to take bus or train more than 3 times, buy a tagesticket every day.
The Tagesticket is valid in all farelevels, so you will not need to pay more for going to the airport. Here just to say there are 2 airports serving Düsseldorf, "Dusseldorf-airport" and Weeze (ryanair). Weeze is about 100km. from D'dorf, but the tagesticket is valid for both. You could also visit Cologne without paying more!
