How long do you have for your trip?
The plan is to arrive DUS Monday afternoon, depart to Hamburg Friday morning. Friday to Monday I plan to see Bundesliga and 2 Bundesliga games in and around Hamburg. I depart Tuesday from FRA.
I have a hotel reservation for Dusseldorf, but not sure it is the best option. In my five or so searches I've yet to find anything that captures my attention. It took me one search to find plenty in Cologne, which brought me to post this thread. For three days touring, I might be trying to take in too large an area and maybe I should just stick with a couple core sites.
