Dortmund is a city of breweries and football, and the former centre of heavy industry in the Ruhr area. This extraordinary combination inspired the inhabitants and visitors of the city for several decades, but the days of coal dust and cottage fires are long gone: the metropolis has become the cultural, sporting and economic centre of the Ruhr region. There are many reasons to fly to Dortmund: a BVB home game, a sightseeing tour of the old breweries of the city, visiting a trade fair in the Westfalenhallen or a shopping spree on the Westenhellweg.
