Travelling by car:

Set your navigation device to Landfermannstrasse 6, Duisburg to get to the main entrance and to Averdunkstrasse, Duisburg for parking.

There are three parking garages with entrances from Averdunkstrasse. You can use all three, but we recommend Parkhaus CityPalais (2 Euro per hour, 12 Euro per 24 hours) because it offers easy access to Mercatorhalle. For this, turn right at the little roundabout on Averdunkstrasse. Take the lift from the underground car park directly to Mercatorhalle.

Note: Please drive very slowly (walking speed) on König-Heinrich-Platz/Opernplatz (in front of the opera house) to avoid a speeding ticket!
