Innenhafen Duisburg
Bild: Duisburg Innenhafen
The inner harbour in Duisburg is an impressive testament for the economic restructuring in the Ruhr Area. Its promenade along the canals invites you to take a long stroll and to visit museums and restaurants, which particularly lends itself during a city break in the Ruhr Area.
The former "bread basket of the Ruhr Area" has transformed into a chic urban quarter that easily wins visitors over with an outstanding cultural and gastronomic landscape. In summer evenings you can sit outside long after sunset. It is not just Duisburg's residents that appreciate the inner harbour as a trendy neighbourhood, perfect for nightlife.
Old industrial architecture is coupled with elaborate new buildings in Duisburg's inner harbour and for visitors who are culture enthusiasts there are several museums such as the "Museum Küppersmühle für Moderne Kunst" (Küppersmühle Museum for Modern Art).
Exclusive motor yachts in the marina give the inner harbour a Mediterranean feel. Families with children enjoy themselves in the Legoland Discovery Centre, which is worth a visit even if the sun is shining.

Duisburg
The rivers Rhine and Ruhr, the Rhine-Herne canal, one of the largest inland harbours in the world, the Six Lakes, Lake Toepper and Lake Uettelsheim... The list of all the waters which give Duisburg its maritime atmosphere could be extended at will. It’s no wonder that there is so much going on in and around the water in Duisburg. Regular tours of the harbour, two water-ski courses, boat hire facilities, several yachting and sailing clubs, countless angling clubs and the yachting marina in the inner harbour can easily mislead visitors into thinking that Duisburg is situated on the water’s edge and not inland.
