Duisburg – City on the river – city of culture and industrial heritage

Duisburg combines the exciting flair of the Ruhrgebiet with the relaxed atmosphere of the Lower Rhine area. In between former coal and steel production plants and modern architecture one can experience a mixture of culture, leisure and history. The inner harbor of Duisburg (the biggest inner harbor in the world) and the Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord are nowadays popular venues for recreational activities. What used to be fallow ground (due to former industrial use) has come to be a fascinating space for many cultural sites. The landmark “tiger & turtle” – a roller-coaster walkabout grants a unique view above the city. Sophisticated minds will find stimulating impulses in the city theatre, with the philharmonic orchestra or in the museums. Duisburg – city near the Rhine and the Ruhr. You can experience water in many ways throughout the city. With a harbor tour for instance or various sports and outdoor activities at the large green area Sportpark Duisburg which includes no less than six lakes.  If you want to know more about Duisburgs sights & events, please check out our website.
