Hertz Car Rental in Dortmund
The independent city of Dortmund lies in the West German region of North Rhine-Westphalia, and is the largest city in the Ruhr Valley. Once one of the country’s industrial heartlands, with its coal and steel production, Dortmund is now one of Germany’s greenest cities, with almost half of its 108 square miles covered in green-space. Dortmund’s architecture documents its varied history, and you will also be able to take in some of Germany’s finest shopping, glorious cultural experiences, and beautiful art. The best way to explore Dortmund’s 12 Stadtbezirke is by renting a car in the city, allowing you to take in the city’s outskirts as well as the centre.
Dortmund is home to some of Germany’s finest days out. Stroll around Innenstadt, visit the Altes Stadthaus, take in the restored Petrikirche and its 105m spire, or look out for the golden U on the roof of the city’s old brewery, converted into the contemporary Museum am Ostwall. Shoppers will love Westenhellweg, one of the Germany’s busiest high streets, and the Christmas Market is one of the country’s largest. Sports fans may prefer to visit the Westfalenstadion and see BVB. The city is also the perfect base for visiting other cultural hotspots - rent a car from Dortmund and Cologne is just an hour’s drive, while Dusseldorf is only 43 miles.
