For me Düsseldorf is the ideal base for an exploration of German football :
- There are regular flights to Düsseldorf airport from most parts of the UK, and Eurostar can get you there from London with one change.
- It is on the edge of a huge urban area called the Ruhrgebiet. which is home to many of Germany’s oldest clubs.
- Transport links are cheap, efficient and really easy to use.
- You can easily get to lots of clubs, making it possible to build a short visit around two or three games.
- Düsseldorf is a great city.

Clubs within easy reach of Düsseldorf .
Starting from Düsseldorf, you can get to at least ten clubs in about an hour on public transport.
