Duisburg

Travel Guide & Travel Information
Duisburg connects the Ruhr and Lower Rhine regions. Its inhabitants like to call it the city of "water and fire". Huge blast furnaces still burn here today, making it the most important steel location in Europe. At the same time, Duisburg has the largest inland port in the world. You should not miss the impressions of an interesting harbor tour during your visit. Another visitor magnet for young and old is the zoo with its undisputed stars, the cute koalas. Duisburg is also an excellent starting point for cyclists. For example, the Route of Industrial Culture, the Rhine Cycle Route and the Lower Rhine Route all meet here.
