Dortmund is known as Germany's ‘green metropolis’ with extensive forests, meadows, parks and gardens. It has an impressive cultural reputation, featuring theatres, a wide variety of museums, and galleries. And then there’s the beer, with the city containing the highest concentration of breweries in the country.

But it is also home to the magnificent Casino Hohensyburg, where the EPT German Open, the richest poker tournament ever held in Germany, saw a record 493 players battle for a total prize fund of €2,317,100.
