I have tickets for France v Korea in Leipzig then Switzerland v Togo the following day in Dortmund. I'm in two minds whether it's feasable to go to both. Does anyone know how long it would take to drive between the two cities? Obviously it's easy enough to find out the distance, what I'm asking here is does anyone have experience of the roads between the two?

It's a 300 mile trip.

According to the travel guide on the FIFA site (Destination Germany) it'll take 4 hours 45 minutes.

It's barely faster by train.

m24 says, that Westfalenstadion(dortmund) - Frankenstadion(nürnberg) = 435km and if you want drive with the car, the fastes way take 4,34h. if you want go by train it takes 4.30h or 5.25h

Is flying out of the question? It's an hour to Dortmund from Leipzig, or to Cologne (cheaper, but another hour by train after that).

But the obvious catch is that you can't just catch a flight back straight after the game, so maybe it's no use to you.

LOL. :D We are going the other way around.

Sweden-T&T in Dortmund June 10th 18:00
Netherlands-S&M in Leipzig the next day at 15:00.

We are going by car and spend the night at MotelOne in Hannover. (not expensive)

Maybe you could do the same?
