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.

Duisburg for Foodies

Day 1

A culinary journey through Duisburg

We eat our way through the city: fresh market produce in the morning, a multicultural lunch, coffee and cake in the afternoon and an evening in the Ruhrort scene.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 14:00 - 15:00

    Currywurst break

    No Ruhr-region tour without currywurst. At one of the traditional kiosks you get the red-and-white specialty, fittingly, with fries - regional fare to take away.

  4. 15:30 - 16:30

    Coffee and cake at the harbor

    A coffee break at the Inner Harbor with a view of the water. The cafes along the promenade offer homemade cake and a relaxed harbor atmosphere.

  5. 18:30 - 21:30

    Evening in the Ruhrort scene

    The finale is an evening in the trendy quarter of Ruhrort. Among captains' houses and harbor pubs, creative cuisine, wine bars and maritime flair come together.
