The clubs of the 2 Bundesliga
You can enjoy exciting games and have great experiences in the 2 Bundesliga – the second tier of German football. The crowds might be a bit smaller than in the top tier, but the atmosphere will be just as thrilling. Tickets are cheaper and much easier to get hold of. And you will get to visit some interesting and unusual places.
There are usually fixtures right across the weekend. So, if you plan it right, you can take in three – perhaps even four – matches over a short visit to Germany.
This might help you prepare and save a bit of time.
