Hello there. We are visiting next month and have to get a train from Dusseldorf airport into Dortmund with Manchester City FC. Can you tell me how frequent the trains are and at what return cost?.. Many thanks. Simon
VRR timetable
efa.vrr.de/vrrstd/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2…
From: Düsseldorf, Flughafen Terminal A/B/C
To: Dortmund, Westfalen Stadion
There are no return tickets. If you travel on match day the trip will be covered by your match ticket. To the stadium in Dortmund and back to your hotel (no matter if in Dortmund or Düsseldorf). The match ticket (or any other day ticket) is valid till end of service which includes the dedicated night services. Thus so approx. till 4am next day.
If you stay overnight in Dortmund and take a train back to the airport next day you need VRR price level D tickets. Single ticket is EUR 12,40. Mini group (up to 5 persons) day ticket is EUR 36,50.
VRR tickets (incl. your match ticket) cover regional trains, S-Bahn, U-Bahn, trams and buses. Long distance trains like IC/EC or ICE are not covered.
Thankyou very much. We are staying overnight in Dortmund so all very helpful info..
Dear Abalada, you mentioned Match ticket. I can research online, but I'd appreciate your telling me in about it a few words. Is it a sensible alternative to other types of tickets? Are there also match tickets for mini-groups?
We, a party of 4, are traveling from Brussels to Essen, Dusseldorf, Cologne, Bonn, and wanted to also see Dortmund in 1 day from Dusseldorf or Essen.
We are then flying back home from Cologne-Bonn airport.
Could you give some useful advice, please?
1. Where to make a base city? Or should we stay 1 day in several of these? We will be there for 3-4 days.
2. Where is it easier, cheaper, and convenient to stay (city, type of lodging - hotel, B&B, apartment, etc.)?
3. What kind of transportation is the most convenient and affordable between these cities (including from Brussels)?
Thanks a lot in advance.
