Dortmund/Gelsenkirchen Villas: Regional Information
|
Dortmund is a city renowned internationally for its culture, its research credibility and its technology. For the World Cup 2006, Dortmund’s sporting heritage will be under the spotlight in Germany. Gelsenkirchen is a lush and green city. It is also passionate about football! In 2006 Gelsenkirchen has a chance to shine as a top tournament venue.
Borussia Dortmund is Dortmund’s leading football team and winner of both the UEFA champions league and cup in 1997. The city’s strong sporting emphasis is focused especially on football, and evident in the popularity of the sport amongst its inhabitants. As a 2006 World Cup venue, the city is looking to prove itself as a top class international football community, carrying on a theme that was exhibited when Dortmund hosted the 2001 UEFA cup final. The city of Gelsenkirchen has poured resources into making the venue more easily accessible to visitors on every level – buildings, accommodation, transport links and roads have all been modernised to a very high standard. It is embracing its World Cup 2006 venue status with gusto – it is certainly a football-mad city. It also places great emphasis on dramatic, theatrical, musical and cinematic entertainment – there is lots of choice to be had once the matches are over!
Dortmund’s stadium, the Westfalenstadion, was originally built for the 1974 World Cup – and sees this great tournament returning in 2006. Bright yellow support pylons, each rising to a height of 62 metres, are a distinctive feature of the impressive stadium, and have become a proud landmark in the city. Gelsenkirchen boasts many buildings of great architectural note, and for which it is historically famed. Its stadium is a model of modern design, with a retractable roof, a removable playing surface and a giant video cube. The Champions League Final was played here on 27 May 2004. Cologne is also within easy reach of both cities, making them an excellent choice for a 2006 World Cup holiday that can take in more than one tournament centre. We have a selection of accommodation convenient for staying in or around these beautiful 2006 World Cup venues – from where you will be able to enjoy a vibrant holiday focused on this spectacular international tournament.
