Essen, the cultural capital of Europe in 2010, offers its guests a wide choice of leisure activities.
But who really wants to discover the city should take your time. Dive into the past of an entire region at the world heritage Zollverein and in the Ruhr mining museum. Follow the "monument path" of the city or get on a guided tour along the "Culture Trail".
Marvel at the masterpieces of the Cathedral Treasury, or the Museum Folkwang, on design icons in the "red dot design museum" or through the old towns of Kettwig and Werden. Or enjoy the open-topped double-decker on a tour through the city. Or ...
Just ask us. We are eager to offer advice and assistance, so that you can discover your own "Essen".
