It is 3 hours and today 3/12 it was cold and dry, dress appropriately would be my top tip or you will get cold. Also be prepared to walk about 5000 steps briskly between points of interest, this isn’t for everyone!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 2,924 reviews · from $14

Self-guided BVB Signal Iduna Park walk with QR stops, player tunnel, pitchside benches, and the famous yellow wall energy.

“Excellent tour of the Signal Iduna Football ground. We arrived at 4pm, followed the yellow footsteps and it was a self guided tour with QR codes to scan with detailed information. There was no pressure to move on and you could stop to take as many photo's as you liked. Good time to go as it was fairly quiet. We would have liked a photo with the club mascot but by the time we got to the Manager's area we had missed the mascot. No problem as we got plenty of photo's and got to enjoy the stadium before the game the next day”
