The 10 Best Outdoor Activities in Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia

October 19, 2021 Almeta Stockton

Dortmund has become a center of high-tech industry, but back in the day, it was one of Germany's first brewing centers, and Dortmunder beer is definitely worth tasting in a local bar. Visit the Reinoldkirche or the Marienkirche, or venture south of town to the ruins of Hohensyburg Castle. December is an especially festive time to visit Dortmund—one of Germany's biggest Christmas markets takes over the center of town.

Borussia Dortmund

Reviewed By sl093 - Bromley, United Kingdom

I've been to Dortmund on a few occasions now and every time we've been it's got better and better. This most recent time was a bit last minute in truth, they had a 3:30 kick off against Dusseldorf, so we made sure we arrived at the stadium on time for the ticket office to open at midday, and we managed to get some great seats dead opposite the Yellow Wall which I'll come onto in a minute. The tickets were a very reasonable €50 for what are probably the comfiest seats I've ever had the pleasure to sit in at a football stadium, the shop was actually fairly reasonable in terms of pricing even though it was the first match day after their new kit launch, and we still managed to get some great bargains. The beer and food compared to England were an absolute steal, what with beers being €4 and food even less (it's nice beer as well, like actual good stuff, instead of paying £8 for a warm Carlsberg back home), added to which you're actually trusted in Germany to be an actual adult, and as a result you can take your actual beers back to your actual seat instead of just hovering in the concourse while you try and chug it down. It's almost like they've built this place for the average person to have a great afternoon out, something that the Premier League clearly has absolutely no idea about. The staff and the fans are all lovely, and even kindly kept us in the loop to let us know what was going on in the pre-match build, up as sadly none of us can speak very good German. Quite frankly it was one of the most accommodating places I've ever been to. This brings me onto the Yellow Wall, which is practically indescribable. I never knew people could be so loud and I haven't experienced a sound like it before or since. They were all in their seats well before the game (literally an hour or two), didn't move at halftime, and were all there well after the game finished. I don't care what anyone says, there is nowhere in European football at least that compares to this place for all round experience and atmosphere. I'd also like to give credit to the Dusseldorf fans who were incredible as well, they never stopped singing the entire game, I think this is the closest we can get to knowing what it would have been like in the Colosseum in ancient times. I'd recommend this place to anyone and everyone, and just for comparison (I'm an Arsenal fan) it cost me less to fly to Germany, watch a game and fly back again, than it does to get a travel card to the Emirates and watch a game, and that's not including food when you get there. This is a genuinely affordable and enjoyable way to experience football at it's very best. Oh, and the game finished 3-2 to Dortmund and had a red card, penalty, tense finish, the lot - value for money went through the roof.

Been many a times to Dortmund Zoo but this time was really good. Local children had gone back to school so the park was really peaceful. Adult ticket is only €8!! Which you can't complain. Not as many animals as previously but many enclosures are getting a revamp. Can't wait to see the updated park on our next visit.
