Discover Dortmund

Dortmund is located in North Rhine-Westphalia in the Ruhr area. The city lies on the rivers Ruhr and Emster. The extensive transportation through these rivers has made Dortmund the largest inland port in Germany. Due to the abundance of water, it is also one of the greenest cities in Germany. Discover this modern city with many faces.

Florian and industrial culture

A beautiful place to visit in Dortmund is the Florian tower in the Westfalenpark. From there, you have a splendid view of the city from no less than 140 meters. Many sights in Dortmund revolve around industrial heritage, the 'Industriekultur.' For example, visit the old forge Huckade with late Gothic architecture. This was the workshop of the former Hansa Dortmund-Huckarde mine and is now a cultural center.

Ships and Alter Market

The port of Dortmund is a sight in itself. The dynamic of arriving and departing ships in the largest inland port of Europe has something magical. Take a look inside the monumental old port office ‘Altes Havenambt’ for an overview exhibition about the port through the centuries. In the traffic-calmed center of Dortmund, you can shop and experience culture. On the 'Alter Markt,' it's cozy with pubs and restaurants, and in the adjacent alleys, you find exclusive shops. Especially in the Westenhellweg, you can shop well. It is known as the busiest shopping street in Germany.
