The combined
underground and light railway system in Dortmund, called the
Stadtbahn, is clean and efficient, with regular
trains to the stadium on match days.
You can use the station for the
adjoining Westfalenhallen arena and exhibition centre, or the
Westfalen Stadion's own station - in use only if there's a game
on.
Line U45 runs from the main railway station to the
stadium, while line U46 runs to the ground and the arena stops
from the north east of the city. |

Alternatively, you can
take line U42 from the north east or south west of the city and
get out at Theodor Fliedner Heim on Wittekindstrasse, from
which the ground is just a couple of minutes walk.
Mainline
trains
There is also a mainline railway station serving the
arena. This is called the DO-Westfalenhalle Bahnhof
(where DO stands for Dortmund and Bahnhof means station). This is served
by regional express trains (line RE57) and standard
regional trains (RB52, RB53 and
RB59), and is also within walking distance of the ground
(German rail journey planner). This very simple
station (little more than a platform) is being refurbished for the World
Cup.
By car
The stadium is essentially at the
crossroads of two major arterial roads through Dortmund: the
north-south B54 or Ruhrallee, and the
east-west Ruhrschnellweg or B1. Follow signs for
"Westfalenpark" and/or
"Westaflenstadion". Most car parks are signposted off the
B54 just south of the intersection with the B1.
From the
south
Access the B54 via the Dortmund south (Süd) exit of the A45
motorway
From the north
Leave the A2 at Dortmund
north-east (Nordost) and join the B54 via the B236 and B1
From
the west
Access the B1 via the Dortmund west exit from the
A45
From the east
Join the B1 from the Dortmund Unna
exit off the A1.
