The city center, with its shopping opportunities, and the Duisburg Inner Harbor are key to the city’s successful structural transformation. As a cultural hub, it is one of the city’s top destinations. Plenty of restaurants and bars invite visitors to linger.
The Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park is an absolute crowd-pleaser. The 180-hectare site of the former steel mill offers space for relaxation, adventure, and culture. At night, it glows in vibrant colors thanks to Jonathan Park’s light installation.
Duisburg’s museum scene is also impressive. The Lehmbruck Museum features national and international sculptures. The MKM Museum Küppersmühle houses works by renowned artists such as Jörg Immendorf and Anselm Kiefer. The highlight of the Museum of Culture and City History is the Gerhard Mercator Treasure Chamber, and at the Inland Waterway Museum, everything revolves around life on board.
Duisburg—a city of exciting contrasts! Whether it’s the Duisburg Zoo, the Sechs-Seen-Platte recreational area, or a harbor tour in the world’s largest inland port—the variety of experiences at the end of the RuhrtalRadweg is far from over.
