The Union brewery's old high-rise from 1926/27, with the golden U on its roof that has been lit since 1968. Today it holds the Museum Ostwall, media art, a cinema and a restaurant with a terrace at the top; outside, Adolf Winkelmann's Flying Pictures play on the tower.
The TV tower in the Westfalenpark, built for the 1959 federal garden show. Viewing platforms sit at a little over 140 metres, and its revolving restaurant was the first of its kind in 1959; today there is a café and bar at the top at weekends.
Borussia Dortmund's stadium, opened in 1974, with room for over 81,000. The South Stand is all standing, for almost 25,000 fans; there are stadium tours, and the BVB museum, the Borusseum, is next door.
Phoenix West blast furnace

The blast furnaces of the old steelworks in Hörde, which stopped in the late 1990s. On a guided tour you climb 99 steps to the Skywalk, a walkway on the old gas pipe 26 metres up.
The German football association's museum, right opposite the main station since 2015: trophies, shirts and stories from the national team to the Bundesliga.
An old colliery, now a museum of the LWL. It is famous for its machine hall of steel and glass with a stained-glass Art Nouveau doorway.
Phoenix Lake
Outdoors
A lake where the Phoenix-Ost steelworks stood until 2001, open since 2011. A path runs all the way round, with cafés at the harbour and boats on the water.
