Duisburg for Free

Duisburg can also be experienced without a big budget — many of the most spectacular places charge no admission. Landscape Park North is freely accessible around the clock, the walkable Tiger & Turtle rollercoaster likewise. Add to that the promenade at the Inner Harbour, the historic old town with St Saviour's Church and the broad Rhine Park. This tour shows: the best sides of the city are free.

Best time to visit: April to October — almost all the free highlights are out in the open

Duisburg for Free

Day 1

A day at no cost

We explore Duisburg without admission: freely accessible industrial heritage, landmarks, the old town and the water — sights that cost nothing.

  1. 9:30 - 12:00

    Landscape Park Duisburg-North

    The Landscape Park is freely accessible day and night. You may climb Blast Furnace 5 for free, and the paths through the old ironworks are open — industrial heritage at no cost.

    Tip: Only climbing, diving and some guided tours cost extra — the park itself is free.

  2. 12:30 - 13:30

    Affordable lunchtime snack

    A currywurst at the kiosk or a filled roll from the bakery — affordable regional fare keeps the budget low.

    Old town and St Saviour's Church

    The historic old town with the Dreigiebelhaus, the town hall and St Saviour's Church (free admission) is easily explored on foot — Mercator's city at no cost.

  4. 15:15 - 16:30

    Inner Harbour promenade

    A walk at the Inner Harbour along the warehouses, the marina and the Garden of Remembrance — architecture and water, entirely free of charge.

  5. 17:00 - 18:30

    Tiger & Turtle and the Rhine Park

    To finish, the freely walkable Tiger & Turtle rollercoaster and a side trip to the freely accessible Rhine Park by the river — the last free highlights of the day.
