Starting from Düsseldorf

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, so it’s easy to build a short visit around two or three games.
  •  Düsseldorf is a great city – well worth a visit with or without football.
