Dortmund is one of the largest cities of Germany. First mentions of it are referred to the 9th century. At that time the city was called Trotmani and that was a large trading center. In the 17th century Dortmund seriously suffered from the Thirteen Years’ War, but it recovered quickly and started playing leading positions in economic and political life of the country.
The city with its amazing history was traditionally attracting travellers. There are still many interesting monuments and ancient buildings here. In Dortmund you will also find large number of entertainment centers and comfortable hotel complexes. Old part of the city is the most interesting one as here you can walk on quarters built in 18-19 centuries, see ancient churches and cathedrals, have rest on one of the picturesque squares or try best dishes made by local chiefs.
