Duisburg is a city in the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
It is one of the biggest cities in Germany, located directly in the Ruhr Area. Hitchhiking out will be quite difficult because of the colossal network of highways in the Ruhr Area. Nevertheless, don't panic, we'll give it a try!
As you can see on your map Dusseldorf is just south of this city so you can easily follow instruction for Dusseldorf.

On the other hand if you are without money wait rush hour around 5-6 o'clock and get into tram, train. City is very long (longer than Amsterdam afaik) so walking with bag is not very good idea.
