Stadiums

Schalke 04 is a club that many should visit once in their lifetime. The club is mostly famous for the Revierderby against Borussia Dortmund, but with the Veltins-Arena it’s got one of the most modern European stadiums whilst keeping the great old football atmosphere intact.

Bayern Munich is an absolute world-class club on and off the pitch and a must-visit for everyone who likes southern German culture. Expect a combination of top football and good Bavaria beers. You can't make us happier than that.

A visit to metropole Berlin is incomplete without a stop at the Olympiastadion, where on and off the pitch so much history has been written. Preferably whilst watching a match of Hertha BSC, one of Germany's oldest clubs.

Dortmund is quite a grey city in the Ruhr, but a visit to Borussia Dortmund is always impressive. The Westfalenstadion is one of the biggest stadiums in Europe, and the famous Gelbe Wand never loses any of its magic, no matter how often you've been there.

A popular Traditionsverein with a historic stadium in one of the biggest cities of Germany. 1. FC Köln is a club with a strong identity and is ideal for a day trip. But even if you stay a couple of days, you will not be bored for a second. Viva Colonia!

Stuttgart might not be the first city that comes to mind when visiting Germany, but you should definitely go there. The city has a rich football history and the Mercedes-Benz Arena of VfB Stuttgart is one of the biggest stadiums in the country.

It's probably the most cliché, but also the most classic football trip there is: A visit to Camp Nou and FC Barcelona. It still has a touch of magic, especially when you wander off the beaten track in the Catalan capital.

Valencia should have been playing in a brand-new stadium for years, but that ended up being the biggest fiasco ever. We don't mind: Mestalla is a classic football temple in Europe. On top of that, Valencia is a lovely city to spend a couple of days in.

The name Real Madrid alone tends to leave you in awe. It's the name of the biggest club in the world. A home game of Los Merengues is like going to a royal ceremony in one of the most beautiful football temples there is, the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.
