Dortmund is in north-western Germany, forming part of the illustrious North Rhine-Westphalia region of the country. With a prominent canal port, and a setting amongst a string of high profile German cities, car hire from Dortmund allows you travel both here and through the region.
Although Dortmund is recognised for its industrial heritage, the city is surprisingly green, with over half of the area consisting of waterways and green space, including parks like Westphalenpark. Other popular attractions include the Zollern Colliery. Opened as a mine in 1902, and operational until 1966, it now provides a unique museum experience illustrating what life as a miner was actually like.
People come to Dortmund for a number of reasons, and it's an excellent base from which to explore the region. The Florian Tower and the spires of St Reinold's Church (Reinoldikirche) dominate Dortmund's skyline, and Westphalenpark provides a sanctuary from the vibrancy of the city.
Further afield, the Signal Iduna Park is a popular attraction due to Borussia Dortmund's recent successes and Borussia's home ground can be found following Hohe Straße out of the city. Dortmund car rental is popular for those travelling to the football, and for those making their own transfers from Dortmund Airport, which is a 15-minute drive east on the B1.
