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 Harbor, 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
