Dusseldorf to Gelsenkirschen

I will be visiting Dusseldorf for FIFA matches in June that are taking place in Gelsenkirschen..

Where is a nice place to stay? I was looking at the Hotel Orangerie in the old town- are there lots of restaurants around this hotel? Places to walk to?

is in a nice location in the Altstadt (old town) of Düsseldorf. What they write about their location

www.hotel-orangerie-mcs.de/historie_e.html

is correct.

Gelsenkirschen would be a nice name too. Kirschen = cherries in German.

But it%26#39;s Gelsenkirchen.

Düsseldorf = Duesseldorf when umlauts (ä ö ü) are not available (ü -%26gt; ue). E.g.

www.duesseldorf-tourismus.de/default_en.php

Gelsenkirchen and Düsseldorf are both inside the VRR, the local public transport network of the Rhine-Ruhr area.

Your entrance ticket to the match covers the trip from Düsseldorf to Gelsenkirchen for the match.

You can also use the DB timetable

reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/dn…

you can use

%26quot;D%26quot; as a shortut for Düsseldorf Hbf (main railway station)

%26quot;DUS%26quot; as a shortcut for Düsseldorf Airport train station
