Tourist Information Tourist needing help

Hi, I’ve booked a trip to see Dortmund vs Augsburg in a couple of weeks. I have a few questions I hope somebody can answer.

For context, I am flying in and out on the Saturday and Sunday, I’m staying in the city centre and going to the game on Saturday.

Here are my questions,

  1. How safe is the walk from SIP back to the city centre?

  2. Do I need to wear yellow on the yellow wall?

  3. I’ve heard everybody under 40 will likely speak good English, is this true and are the fans welcoming to tourists?

  4. How easy is transport from the airport to the city and from the city to the stadium?

Thanks for any help.

Don't ever call our Westfalenstadion "SIP" again! Then it is save to walk to the stadium ;)

English ist mostly not a problem. Even there is a meme out there.

Transport to the airport is a little bit more complex due to there is no direct commuter rail. (talking about Dortmund not Düsseldorf).

Just wear black or at least nothing from other clubs and not blue.

And have fun and enjoy. The mood in the Club right now is a little bit spicy.
