Euro 2024: What is the best way to explore the city of Düsseldorf before the game?
Even though almost 700,000 people live in the city of Düsseldorf, the city centre is very easy to explore on foot. For example, it takes around 30 minutes to get from the main train station to Düsseldorf‘s famous Old Town and the banks of the Rhine. Of course, you can also change to the underground or tram here. Many of the city‘s sights - as well as many restaurants and pubs - are located in the area.
Euro 2024: After arrival at Düsseldorf Airport: How to get to the city
Every day, several trains run from the airport to Düsseldorf city center, from regional trains (RE and S-Bahn) to highspeed trains (ICE ). The overhead railway „Skytrain“ takes you from the terminal directly to the train station. The S11 even stops directly at the Düsseldorf Airport terminal. Anyone with a valid match ticket can use the „Skytrain“ and the S-Bahn and RE connections to Düsseldorf.
Euro 2024: The best way to get to the stadium in Düsseldorf
If you like, you can also reach the stadium on foot. The so-called Rhine Walk leads from the Old Town directly to the stadium. Visitors then walk directly along the Rhine over a distance of around five kilometres. However, public transport is also available: You can take the underground line U78 directly to the stadium. Those arriving by car will find several parking options around the arena. Again, fans with a valid match ticket can travel for free on the U78 to the stadium.
Where can I watch the Euro games in Düsseldorf if I don‘t have a ticket?
The three fan zones will be the top places to watch football together in Düsseldorf during the 2024 European Championships. The public squares around the three landmarks Rheinufer, Burgplatz and Schauspielhaus are huge public viewing screenings. With a view of the Rhine and Oberkassel, all European Championship matches of the German national team and all European Championship matches taking place in Düsseldorf will be broadcasted on the banks of the Rhine.
The Schauspielhaus will not only be a public screening area for all European Championship matches, but will also be a cultural venue for other football-related events. All games of the tournament will be broadcasted in the fan zone at Burgplatz.
How crowded are the public screening events?
The otherwise popular hotspot not far from the banks of the Rhine - the so-called Kasematten - is also a great place to watch football. Due to the general popularity, you should arrive early on match days if you want to get a seat. All tournament matches are shown on a total of eight screens.
