If you would like to explore the city on your own, you will find interesting suggestions. If you would like to go on a discovery tour with a themed city tour or a varied city tour, you can book your place here directly. If you don't want to queue at the ticket office for Duisburg Zoo or the harbour tour through the world's largest inland port, you can get your tickets here.
Do you still need accommodation in Duisburg or are you looking for a souvenir of your visit? Then you've come to the right place.

Duisburg is a modern city on the Rhine and Ruhr, between the idyllic Lower Rhine and the vibrant Ruhr metropolis. Glittering architecture pervades the new city centre as well as the inner harbour, which has been converted into a leisure and gastronomy mile. Where grain was once stored and milled, you will now find museums, restaurants and offices. Where freighters were once loaded and unloaded, yachts are now moored and exude Mediterranean flair. Chic neighbourhood flats along the canals bear witness to an enhanced quality of life and living. Elegant metropolitan flair also greets visitors in the city centre with Germany's most modern casino or right next door in the award-winning shopping paradise ‘Forum’.

Anyone who still associates Duisburg with steel and coal will find it difficult at first. But outside the city centre, fans of the industrial past will get their money's worth: the Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park is a jewel of industrial culture. The former steelworks, which has been converted into a cultural and leisure park, attracts visitors from all over the world to the city year in, year out. Cultural and corporate events take place here in an extraordinary setting. Divers practise their sport in the gasometer and people climb in the ore storage bunkers. The colourful night-time illumination of the landscape park has made it a symbol of the region's structural change par excellence.

The city can be justifiably proud of its exquisite museum landscape. As a centre of international sculpture, the LehmbruckMuseum presents the sculptural works of Wilhelm Lehmbruck and other national and international artists of the 20th century. Right next door is the DKM Museum, which focuses on old Asian and contemporary art.

The MKM Museum Küppersmühle for Modern Art houses the Ströher Collection, one of the most extensive collections of German post-war art. The former flour mill in Duisburg's inner harbour is also well worth seeing from an architectural point of view. Here, modern architecture by Herzog & de Meuron meets industrial culture.

As the city with the world's largest inland port and cultural harbour Ruhr, it is a point of honour that the Museum of German Inland Navigation is located in Duisburg. From the Stone Age to the present day, inland waterway shipping history is presented on three floors. The museum ship Oscar Huber, a paddle steamer from 1922, is moored just a few steps away from the museum.

If you are surprised to learn that the first modern atlas was developed in Duisburg by the important mathematician and cartographer Gerhard Mercator, we recommend a visit to the Museum of Cultural and City History. Here you can discover interesting facts about the city's history, from Mercator to Schimanski, and much more.

Visitors from outside the city are usually amazed at how ‘green’ Duisburg is. From the zoo (approx. 1 million visitors a year) to the sports park and the Sechs-Seen-Platte (six lakes), there are huge woodland and lake landscapes. The sports park is also home to the regatta course, where international competitions are regularly held.
