Located close to the German-Danish border, Flensburg is a small town with a rich history and many notable cultural landmarks. The city is the home to the largest Danish community in Germany, and its beer is renowned throughout the region. Det Lille Teater, the local Danish theater, is a great spot to get a sense of the local community.
The Old Town quarter in the center of the city features many well-preserved buildings and a scenic waterfront at the tip of the Flensburg Fjord. Some buildings are centuries-old mansions and manors converted into museums, like Museumsberg Flensburg, home to an extensive art collection. Braasch Rum Factory Museum offers a slightly different perspective on Flensburg, where you can learn all about rum-making, and yes, they have rum-tastings!
Because it is one of the northernmost cities in Germany, most ground travel from Germany to Denmark, Sweden, or Norway passes through Flensburg. For example, intercity bus service with FlixBus is an affordable way to reach nearby destinations like Hamburg or Copenhagen.

Duisburg is located at the junction of the Rhine and Ruhr rivers in western Germany. Duisburg's harbor is the largest inland port in the world, with 21 docks in total. The Innenhafen, or Inner Harbor, used to be the center of the city's industry but today is a center for dining and nightlife. Make a point to stroll along the marina to check out the many kinds of boats, relax in one of the green spaces, and of course, stop in one of the many restaurants for a delicious dinner.
In the Meiderich district, make sure to check out the Landschaftspark Duisburg Nord. This industrial steelworks complex had gone disused since 1985 before its reinvention into a public park. The unique complex includes trails along what used to be sewer systems, a viewing tower made from the blast furnace, and even a scuba diving center in what originally was a gasometer. Kaiserberg, on the other hand, is a more traditional park that is home to both a zoo and a botanical garden.
Hundreds of bus and train routes to Duisburg make the city extremely accessible. Train companies, including Deutsche Bahn and FlixTrain, provide rail travel, and FlixBus provides the bulk of Duisburg's bus service. This means Berlin, Hamburg, Paris, and more cities across Europe are within just a short bus or train ride from Duisburg.
