Dortmund is a shopper’s paradise one of Germany’s most
successful shopping attraction, with a highly attractive
range of stores. Dortmund also appeals to shoppers from as
far away as Holland, for obvious reasons: Dortmund’s many
stores cater for (almost) every taste and budget. Most of
them are located in a compact, easy-to-reach area.
Dortmund has everything to turn a city trip into an exciting
experience: in the Fletch Bizzel district, theatres, clubs,
restaurants and art galleries have transformed the former
industrial landscape, and the Konzerthaus, Westphalia’s
philharmonic hall into a music city of international
importance.
Hohensyburg Casino is for those who fancy a flutter. Every
year more than a million people try their luck here at
Germany's most money-spinning casino. Everything revolves
around playing: even the architecture reflects the theme.
The casino has three floors and offers everything from
classic casino games to "Las Vegas World" and a slot machine
hall.
If you favour a cosier atmosphere, simply drop in at one of
the countless pubs; after all, Dortmunders are not only
football experts but also dedicated upholders of the
Westphalian beer tradition. Alternatively, tourists may
relax in one of the town’s "green oases": extensive forests,
meadows, fields and parks cover almost half of the city’s
280 square kilometres, the many green areas offering
outstanding recreational and leisure facilities. |
