It has been possible to get to this city located near the Rhine and Ruhr via water, railway and roads for a long time now. This is not only due to trade, but also to the friendliness of the people. Find out for yourself and discover the joie de vivre and cosmopolitan feel of the city in which hospitality really still is genuine. It is a favourite for photographers from all over the world. And whilst heavy industry previously covered the banks of the Rhine, the sandy beach of the RheinPark with a view of the ships passing by is now an inviting sunbathing spot.
The Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord offers music festivals, open air cinema, diving, climbing and much more. It would be impossible to list all the events and activities on offer at the park here.
There is an amphitheatre which is off the beaten track and can be found at the northern edge of the Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord.
You can have chilled BBQ parties here, even with larger groups. Former manufacturing sites have been imaginatively transformed and are now unique monuments to industrial heritage that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Former factory sites now offer sport, cultural and leisure activities in an interesting atmosphere.
Repurposed industrial halls create a unique backdrop for trade fairs and conferences. Former grain warehouses now house inviting restaurants and art of international importance. Duisburg is still an important location in the steel industry nowadays. A third of the crude steel produced in Germany and around half of the raw iron is manufactured in Duisburg.
