Duisburg Christmas Market
Market along Königstraße through Duisburg's whole city centre, with an ice rink for Bavarian curling. 12 November to 30 December 2026.
Dated ticket: adults €17.50, children 3–17 €10, dog €4. Regular day tickets and the RUHR.TOPCARD are not valid; reduced price for annual pass holders.
For the third time, Duisburg Zoo opens its paths in the evening for a light trail produced with World of Lights. Giant glowing lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards and rhinos line the loop, joined by around ten large lanterns. The koala house stays open, and food and drink stands are dotted along the way. Note: it runs only Thursday to Sunday and ends as early as 6 December, sooner than most light trails. Tip: dogs are welcome with their own ticket, and wear good shoes – the loop is almost four kilometres long.
