One of Europe's Culture Capitals

Once a city of steel and coal mining, now one of the cultural capitals of Europe, Essen is one of Germany’s greenest cities and is home to many historical landmarks such as the Cathedral of Essen and Nikolauskirche, along with the charismatic half-timbered medieval quarters of Kettwig.

The botanical garden of Grugapark has a host of plants and flora, whilst Essen’s historical past is on show through landmarks such as Basilica St Ludgerus, Alte Kirche and the Old Synagogue Essen.

The main shopping area is based around Kettwiger Strasse, within the vicinity is Essen’s medieval Dom containing several priceless collections of artwork. Museum Folkwang features 19th and 20th-century art and several cafés, bars and restaurants line the city’s streets.

In summer you can swim, windsurf, take a boat ride or enjoy a picnic on the banks of Lake Baldeney and the Baldeneysee Seaside Beach. Essen has ice-skating rinks in some areas during winter. Movie Park Germany is also a popular attraction.

Essen Central Station offers direct links to Oberhausen, Dortmund, Cologne, Duisburg, and Dusseldorf. Booking.com has several accommodation options in North Rhine-Westphalia and Essen.

Great exhibition halls at Messe Essen, for annual classic car show. Shopping is good with large shopping centre in town. Lots of restuarants and eating places. Dusseldorf within travelling distance and airport easily reached.

We visited the Zollverein UNECSO.

We visited the Zollverein UNECSO. You could easily spend a full day discovery everything. The city is wonderful. Very green. Food portions are big. Great value for money. The Villa Hügel was very interesting. Unfortunately too little to view without a tour which only occurs on certain days / weekends.

Unfortunately, due to the horrible accommodation, I left Essen too soon. but I give a plus for: Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex Red Dot Design Museum And I give a Minus for the unkempt appearance and the mess in some public areas.

The Folkwang Museum, one of the major museums in North-Rhine...

The Folkwang Museum, one of the major museums in North-Rhine-Westphalia, is already worth a trip to Essen and will occupy you for half a day. Besides current exhibitions it has 24 large rooms with a permanent exhibition on modern art that can be accessed free of charge. Also worth visiting is the Zeche-Zollverein industrial museum and the Alte Synagogue museum and commemoration centre, only 10 minutes away from the main station. Essen also has many restaurants and is one of the main shopping destinations in the region. In winter, there is a large Christmas market and in January/February the Wintertraum Essen, a large open air ice rink with food outlets.

Essen is not a touristic city and there's not a lot to see around. One can visit the museum of the region which is good, and the Christmas Market -other than that I don't think it's a place to come back.

It is very nice, clean, quiet hotel with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. We liked it and would definitely come back if travel to Essen once again. Also the atmosphere and service in the hotel bar were quite good. The hotel stuff is very helpful and welcoming.

The location was not too far away from Essen city centre and from the Essen Messe. The wi-fi signal was good throughout the whole property. The water from the shower was nice and warm.
