I just finished a mini-tour akin to yours. Taking in sights around the football. My itinerary was as follows:

Nov 2. Lincoln City v. Chester,

Nov. 3 Arsenal v. ManU
Nov. 4 West Ham v. Bolton

Nov. 5 Manchester City v. Sunderland

Nov. 6 Rotherham v. Bury

Nov. 7 Slavia Prague v. Arsenal

An exceptionally enjoyable trip. Worked out to 6 matches in 7 days.

For the best atmosphere in the Bundesliga, I recommend Dortmund and Schalke. The places theselves are rather ugly, but nearby Cologne is worth a visit. Plus it’s close to the Dutch and French borders for traveling convenience.

I would try to watch Lyon play. They have a new 19 year old super striker, Karim Benzema, who has 11 goals and 3 assists in only 14 games this season. Moreover, you’ll be able to see their other players that make them the best team in France and one of the best in Europe. Germany seems like an excellent place to catch a game. I would like to watch Hamburg’s Diego play live. He has been the best offensive player in Germany the past few years and is still quite young. In Holland, I would love to watch Louis van Gaal’s AZ Alkmaar. They have many good players and a challenging team along with a small 17,000 capacity stadium.
Enjoy the trip,

All I can say is`you must have a great wife. My wife always forces me to travel to Europe only in the height of the tourists season, when football is not found.

I would push the trip back a month for some better weather.
