Description

Explore Duisburg's charm: Europe's largest inland port, Gothic architecture, and Duisburg Nord Park's transformed industrial site.
We invite you to discover the contemporary city of Duisburg, a place rich with history, art, culture and breathtaking landscape. In this tour, you will have the opportunity to stroll on the banks of the newly structured Inner Harbour, the largest inland port in Europe, and the major attraction of the city. It was the busiest part of town during the Industrial Revolution, and now it has become an entertainment area, full of bars, cafés and restaurants. See the magnificent 14th-century gothic Salvatore Church, and the memorial of the most famous son of this city: Gerardus Mercator, the most famous cartographer of the 16th century, and to whom we owe our view of the world today. Enjoy the unforgettable experience in the unique landscape of the Duisburg Nord Park, once an industrial site that was transformed into a lush garden with a facility for climbing and a former gas tank that is today used as an artificial diving facility. Did you know that the city has a total of 650 bridges, more bridges than in Venice? Learn more about the birth town of the famous cartographer Gerardus Mercator in a tour that covers all the main highlights of the city.
