By plane:

There are two airports near Duisburg: airport Düsseldorf (DUS) and Cologne/ Bonn (CGN).

• If you arrive at DUS you can take regional trains (RE) or the S-Bahn (S) to Duisburg Hbf (Duisburg central station): S1, RE6, RE19, RE3 from platform 5 / RE5, RE1 from platform 1. This should take 8-20 minutes.
• If you arrive at CGN you first have to take the train to Köln Hbf (Cologne central station) (RB 27 platform 1/ S19 platform 2) and from there to Duisburg Hbf (RE5 platform 1 A-C/ RE1 from platform 4). Alternatively, you can take the RE6 from platform 3 to Duisburg Hbf directly.
