Send Flowers to Duisburg, Germany

Where the Ruhr flows into the Rhine, Duisburg operates the largest inland port in the world, and the working river is never far away. Old harbour basins in the Innenhafen now hold museums, offices and restaurants, and a disused ironworks in the north has become the Landschaftspark, lit in colour at night. The city stretches a long way along both banks: Ruhrort with its bargemen's history, Duissern and Neudorf near the university, Rheinhausen and Homberg on the left bank, Hamborn and Walsum in the north, and the lakes and woods of the south around Buchholz and Huckingen.

Generations of workers from Turkey, Italy, Poland and elsewhere settled here, so family ties abroad are strong and flowers cross borders for weddings, births and condolences alike. Flower delivery in Duisburg is next-day from Monday to Saturday for orders received before midnight German time. Sundays are not possible. Because districts are far apart, a complete address with postcode and the name on the doorbell is the best guarantee of a smooth handover.
