Duisburg for Foodies
Duisburg eats colourfully. The industrial city has one of the most varied food cultures in the Ruhr region - from down-to-earth regional fare and the legendary currywurst via the Turkish and Arab cuisine in Marxloh and Hochfeld to the upscale harbor dining at the Inner Harbor. This tour eats its way right across the city and its immigration history.
Best time to visit: Year-round - Duisburg eats well in any weather
Day 1
A culinary journey through Duisburg

- 9:30 - 11:00
Farmers' market and breakfast in the city
Start with a stroll through one of Duisburg's weekly markets and breakfast in the city center - regional, fresh and uncomplicated into the day.
- 11:30 - 13:30
Multicultural cuisine in Hochfeld
Hochfeld is one of the most diverse districts of Duisburg. Here Turkish bakeries, Arab snack bars and restaurants from all over the world line up - the authentic, international lunch.
Tip: A fresh pide or a lahmacun straight from the stone oven is a must here.
