Dortmund – Tradition, football and German innovation

Dortmund, one of the largest cities in North Rhine-Westphalia, is a modern metropolis that blends industrial heritage with contemporary culture. Once known as the industrial heart of the Ruhr region for coal and steel, today the city has transformed into a hub of innovation, technology, and vibrant urban life.

The city’s most iconic symbol is undoubtedly Borussia Dortmund and its legendary Signal Iduna Park, one of Europe’s largest and most atmospheric stadiums for football fans. But Dortmund offers much more: Westfalenpark and Rombergpark are perfect green escapes, while the U-Tower has been reinvented from a brewery into a cultural and art landmark.

In the Old Town (Altstadt), visitors can explore the historic St. Reinoldi Church and enjoy the lively atmosphere of the city squares. For history enthusiasts, the Museum of Ruhr Industry and the Transport Museum provide fascinating insights into the city’s industrial past and development.

Dortmund is a destination where sport, culture, and urban greenery come together – a city that invites visitors to experience German tradition intertwined with the rhythm of modern life.
