Dortmund Holidays

Set on the grounds of a former steelworks, Phoenix See is a stunning example of how Dortmund has reimagined its urban landscape. This manmade lake offers a breath of fresh air just outside the city centre, where locals and visitors alike stroll along the promenade, cycle the scenic paths, or enjoy a leisurely boat ride. With stylish cafes, fine dining restaurants, and sweeping views of the water and surrounding hills, it’s an ideal spot to relax and recharge in the city.

No visit to Dortmund is complete without stepping into the electric atmosphere of Signal Iduna Park, home to Borussia Dortmund and one of Europe’s most legendary football stadiums. With a capacity of over 80,000 fans, the energy here is unmatched, especially in the famed "Yellow Wall," the largest standing terrace in European football. Whether you catch a live Bundesliga match or take a behind-the-scenes stadium tour, you’ll witness firsthand how deeply football is woven into the city’s identity.

Rising above the city skyline, the Dortmunder U is a beacon of Dortmund’s cultural transformation. Once a bustling brewery, this iconic building has been reborn as a multi-level hub of contemporary art, innovation, and multimedia experiences. Inside, you’ll find thought-provoking exhibitions from international artists, immersive video installations, and creative workshops. Don’t miss the rooftop terrace, where panoramic views of the city stretch as far as the eye can see.

Dortmund’s culinary scene reflects its working-class roots and growing cosmopolitan flair. Savour classic local flavours like Sauerbraten, slow-marinated and tender, or the ever-popular currywurst, a street-food staple with a cult following. Sample slices of Westphalian ham, cured with care and steeped in regional pride. And no culinary journey through the city would be complete without raising a glass of Dortmunder Export. A crisp, golden, and brewed with generations of craftsmanship, it’s the perfect refresher after days of exploring. In the vibrant Kreuzviertel district, bohemian cafés and sleek bistros serve up everything from artisanal coffee to innovative global fare, reflecting Dortmund’s growing cosmopolitan spirit. But it’s during the festive season when food comes alive with scent and flavour. Follow the aroma of sizzling Reibekuchen and sweet Glühwein through twinkling Christmas Market stalls and glowing lights.
