Dortmund Attractions

Dortmund Pictures

There is no limit to the huge number of attractions available for visitors to Dortmund city centre and the surrounding areas. Despite being heavily destroyed during the Second World War, the central part of the city still retains its mediaeval feel, while modern ring road follows the line of the old city wall. The Reinoldikirche is one of the oldest churches in the region dating back, in its current form, to the 13th century. This church is famous for its beautiful wooden altar complete with 633 gilt carved oak figures. There are also several moated castles within the municipality that are steeped in history and are well worth a visit. Other attractions of note include the soccer ground of Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park, the RWE Tower and the Opera House.
