Dortmund used to be Germany's center of steel and coal industries, but today is better known for the Borussia soccer team. It is Westphalia's largest city, and it offers lots of parks and open spaces to guests. There are also dozens of museums and local attractions in the area.
If you're ready to explore Dortmund, plan a visit to The Alter Markt, or Old Market. This century-old structure is in a pedestrian-friendly shopping area in the center of Old Town. Get lost amidst its galleries, boutiques, shops, restaurants, and cafes.
Your next stop could be St. Reinold's Church. Built during the 13th century, this church stands tall, with its 104-meter high tower visible from afar. If you're up to it, climb up the tower to get a sweeping view of the city.
Another interesting site to visit is the Zollern Colliery. This building used to be a coal mine, initially built in 1904. You might be picturing a dull old factory, but you'll be surprised by the stunning steel and glass structure with a red brick facade. Take a tour of the building to learn all about Dortmund's industrial past.
You can travel to Dortmund by nearly every form of transportation—we see you, hot air balloon enthusiasts. Flights operate from Dortmund Airport, and Deutsche Bahn and FlixTrain provide train service. Buses on carriers including FlixBus, Sindbad, Onebus, and Union Ivkoni connect Dortmund to cities throughout Germany and Europe.

Best known for its Leaning Tower, Pisa is an Italian city in the Tuscany region. Pisa is a relatively small city, but it's packed with culture, history, authentic food, and friendly locals.
The most popular destination in Pisa is the Piazza Dei Miracoli. This vast square has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It holds four of Pisa's most famous masterpieces: The Leaning Tower, Baptistero di San Giovanni, Duomo di Pisa, and Camposanto Monumentale di Pisa, the "monumental cemetery." These landmarks are within walking distance of each other, and tours are held daily at each. Climb the Leaning Tower's 257 steps for an entirely different view of the city, and make sure to climb at sunset for added magic. Or, you can just take a cheesy picture where it looks like you're holding up the tower.
Elsewhere in the city, wander through the winding medieval streets of Pisa to find many boutique shops and local cafes. Borgo Stretto is an exceptionally diverse shopping street with many high-end brands, local designers, and authentic restaurants.
Traveling to Pisa is straightforward. Bus services from companies like Marino and FlixBus provide affordable ground transport from cities like Florence, Rome, and Milan, among other cities. Pisa Centrale is the primary train station in the city, and the city's Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport welcomes many national and international flights.
