  • Walking from Duisburg HBf to my office (~25 mins): exit the train station on the East side (walk towards platform 13), then follow this route.
• By plane:
  • Flying to Düsseldorf ("DUS") airport is convenient; the train connections from the airport to Duisburg Hbf are very frequent.
  • Flying into Frankfurt ("FRA"), and then taking an ICE train from the airport to Duisburg Hbf also works very well. In particular, Lufthansa offers combined flight+train tickets between Düsseldorf Hbf ("QDU" in "airport code notation") and Frankfurt airport. The combined ticket is advantageous because the train part of the trip as another flight (eg., in case of delays or cancellations). Sometimes, the ICE from Frankfurt to QDU actually continues all the way to Duisburg Hbf. Unfortunately, Lufthansa and Deutsche Bahn try their absolute best to hide this information; there's no good way to check online. However, you can go to the Deutsche Bahn customer service desk in Duisburg Hbf or FRA and just ask. If the ICE train going between FRA and QDU also stops in Duisburg Hbf, just buy the extra ticket.
