Tour Itinerary
Begin at the U-Tower, one of Dortmund's most recognisable landmarks, before moving to the German Football Museum to explore the country's football heritage through interactive displays and historic artefacts.
Continue to the Museum of Art and Cultural History, which holds collections spanning several centuries of regional life. Nearby, the Konzerthaus Dortmund stands as a prominent example of contemporary concert hall design.
Visit two of the city's defining ecclesiastical buildings. St. Reinold's Church, the patron saint's namesake, anchors the old town, while St. Johannes Baptist offers a quieter and equally storied setting.
Pause at Platz von Hiroshima, a square that marks Dortmund's peace partnership with its Japanese twin city. The Altes Stadthaus, a landmark administrative building, stands close by and adds civic historical context.
Conclude the route at the Museum known as Hawk's Tower before finishing in the City Garden, a green urban space where you can review your scavenger hunt results and wind down at the end of the experience.
