Dortmund might be best known for its twin obsessions with beer and football, but the city is fast emerging as one of Western Germany’s most important business hubs. Upmarket hotels such as the lavish Unique Novum Dortmund Hauptbahnhof (Hoher Wall 38) and Ringhotel Drees (Hohe Strasse 107) with its indoor pool and sauna cater for a luxury-loving crowd, while Radisson Blu Hotel Dortmund (An der Buschmühle 1) is located near the Westfalenhallen exhibition grounds and caters mainly for visiting professionals. Mercure Hotel Dortmund City (Kampstrasse 35-37) is a stylish budget option within easy walking distance of the city centre.

Dortmund’s pedestrianised Westenhellweg is a magnet for souvenir hunters and fashionistas, boasting one of the most visited shopping malls in Germany as well as hundreds of big high-street stores. For a quirkier experience, head to the Brückstrasse quarter, a haunt of artists and creatives, and the perfect place to pick up cut-price trend fashion. Hansastrasse is home to the city’s biggest collection of luxury designer shops, with Hermes at number 61 and Lacoste at number 44, while Kleppingstrasse is famous in local circles for its independent boutiques. For an original souvenir, craft store Creare (Ostenhellweg 42) sells thousands of products by Dortmund artists.

Westphalian cuisine is all about meat, beer and big portions, and nowhere does it better than Zum Alten Markt (Markt 3). This cosy restaurant serves up regional specialities such as beef stew and pork knuckle with sauerkraut, attracting both locals and stodge-loving visitors. Looking for something a little lighter? Ristorante Bei Marija (Am Beilstück 48), a short journey east from the town centre, specialises in scrumptious Italian cuisine, while centrally located Stravinski (Brückstrasse 21) is a classy option close to the Konzerthaus. Locals love Barrock (Kreuzstrasse 87), a café tucked away in the Kreuzviertel, which serves delicious finger food and killer cocktails.
