Flights to and from Manchester booked, hotel booked... Friday to Tuesday How much did you pay? Flights were about £120, hotel was about £110 (pp for a room, 2 singles in city centre) - you can find cheaper flights from London or hotels in and around the city centre too! Germanwings flight (skyscanner) and booking.com

where would you reconmned to stay in dusseldorf for this trip? thanks I'm flying to and from dussledorf but I'm staying in Cologne itself! The train is 30 mins from dussledorf airport to Cologne central station! Cologne is by far the better city, no point really in staying in dussledorf tbh! Plenty of cheap hotels in the centre of Cologne! Anywhere around the station, Rathaus or Dom (cathedral) and your right in the mix! Just try and stick to the west side of the river, we were there in nov and got a decent self catering apartment sleeping 8 near the station for a really good price!

Tickets are about 16 euro and that admits you to all games over the two days!

We arrive into dussledorf around 10 20am on the fri from Manchester! Best option is to get the train from dussledorf flughafen station (not the terminal station) there are loads of trains each hour into Cologne and takes around 30 mins! Just get your ticket from one of the machines on the platform! Can't wait for this trip, was there for the WC and again a few months ago for a stag do! Fantastic city for a football trip.... Can't recommend it enough to fellow stokies! Get yourselves out there!

Your spoilt for choice in Cologne as regards bars pubs and restaurants! However, as regards football fans, I suppose when travelling to Europe we are always enticed to the Irish bars, which there are a few! The best located are the corkonian, just off Heumarkt, and then Barney vallelys Irish pub is just around the corner!! The better Irish bar is the jamesons distillery bar, but that is somewhat out of the way off the main drag! As I say though, there are plenty of places that stoke fans may stumble upon and call home for the weekend, during the World Cup we drank near the river in a little square behind great St martins church, almost opposite the corkonian! Lovely outside setting for the summer, shame you couldn't move for the England invasian!
