Beach near Dortmund, Germany

Dortmund Travel Guide

Germany

Dortmund is a city of around 590,000 people in western Germany and one of the main urban centres of the Ruhr region. It is best known as an inland German city rather than a coastal destination.

Most air travellers arrive through Dortmund Airport (DTM), the airport serving the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so Dortmund is better suited to an urban break than a nearby beach holiday.
