What brings you here?
Art at the Dortmunder U
The U can anchor a cultural stay. Check the exhibition programme and choose by interest rather than treating the visit purely as a photograph outside the building.
Green time in the city
Westfalenpark brings outdoor time into your stay. Plan around the season’s gardens and leisure activities; for the Florian Tower, check the current opening times.
Urban change beside the water
The PHOENIX See makes the transformation of former industrial land visible. A waterfront walk suits visitors who prefer to examine urban development in place as well as through museums.

Westfalenpark
Westfalenpark combines garden spaces and leisure opportunities, with the Florian Tower as a distinctive landmark. Select activities rather than treating the park as a checklist. Construction or operating notices can affect individual areas, so check the current information before your visit.

PHOENIX See in Hörde
A new urban setting has developed on former steelworks land at the PHOENIX See. Choose a waterfront stretch for a walk and consider the water, buildings and green space together. Check current route notices before your visit.
