One of Europe's Culture Capitals

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.

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.

Since our stay was not a long one, we couldn't have time to go round the city , but what I can say about the city Essen is, Essen is a calm place to stay during your holidays , we did not have any problems.

Very satisfied with my visit to NH Essen. Helpful staff at the reception who immediately checked if they had space in the hotel garage for my car. Also when leaving offered to help with my luggage. Hotel room was clean as expected, everything perfect, AC working. Good location close to Essen shopping streets. Great stay, can really recommend!!

Great location, nearby to tram stop that gave me perfect access to Spiel Essen. Staff were friendly. Breakfast had a good offering. Hotel/room was clean and comfy. Bedding was very premium compared to other hotels I’d stayed at during my trip. TV in the room had access to YouTube/Netflix/Prime video (own login). Definitely would stay here again.

The location is very convinient. 10mins to Essen Messe by car and 10mins to city center by foot. The room was spacious. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok. There is also a bar and a restauarant in the same building of the hotel. Very easy to find free street parking next to the hotel. Airco works perfectly.
