Duisburg in Summer
In summer Duisburg shows its relaxed side. The Six Lakes turn into a lido, Landscape Park North becomes an open-air stage for festivals such as Traumzeit, and the Rhine Park fills with picnic blankets. Beer gardens line the Inner Harbour, and in the evening the sunset turns the Rhine orange. This tour makes the most of warm, long days.
Best time to visit: June to August — in the heat, the water is the best companion
Day 1
A summer day in Duisburg
We spend the day outdoors and by the water: swimming in the lakes, green industrial heritage, the Rhine Park and a balmy summer evening at the harbour.
- 9:30 - 12:30
Swimming at the Six Lakes
The summer day begins by the water: the Six Lakes in Wedau offer lidos, sunbathing lawns, pedal and sailing boats. Coming early secures the best spots on the shore.
Tip: The lido fills up quickly on hot days — don't forget swimwear and sun protection.
- 12:30 - 13:45
Lunch by the lake
A light lunch with a lake view — ice cream, salad or grilled fare at the catering around the lakes.
- 14:15 - 16:00
Green industrial heritage at the Landscape Park
In the afternoon, to Landscape Park North, where the wild industrial garden is in full bloom in summer. Climbers in the ore bunkers, divers in the gasometer and shady paths between the blast furnaces.
- 16:30 - 18:00
Rhine Park and promenade
To Rhine Park Hochfeld by the river: a picnic on the meadow, beach volleyball and a stroll along the Rhine promenade with a view of passing freighters.
- 19:00 - 21:30
Balmy evening at the Inner Harbour
Let the summer evening wind down in one of the beer gardens at the Inner Harbour — a cool drink, a water view and the sunset over the warehouses.
