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.
Essen was mostly destroyed in the war. Everything in the city center is either ugly 50s or even uglier 70s buildings. The shopping district has mostly Döner take-aways and mobile phone shops, public transport grinds to a 30-minute tact after 20h even on the main lines and stops at 23h, cultural offers are sparse (but if you have a car, you can always travel over the always jammed A40 to Düsseldorf, Dortmund or Duisburg … also ugly, but slightly bigger, Düsseldorf even has car sharing providers that none of the other have). Nicer houses are in Essen-Bredeney on the hill-top with the Villa Krupp and in Essen-Werden, where the Folkwang University has a good concert and performance schedule, the Baldeney See is a huge lake and the Zeche Zollverein an interesting mining-related museum with cool tours, and Museum Folkwang has surprisingly many big names for such a poor city. But other than that, avoid Essen at all cost.

Our visit to Essen was prompted by our attendance at a stamp collectors' exhibition at the "Messe". The exhibition halls and facilities are world class.
We also visited the excellent art Museum Folkwang, and the new museums at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zollverein (discontinued but preserved coal mine and coke processing plant) as well as the Krupp family mansion, "Villa Hugel".
Essen is off the beaten tourist path, which is not at all a bad thing.
Public transportation was esy to use with a 24/48 hour pass but the main train station was pretty confusing.

Apartment was great, very clean, and It looks exactly like on the pictures! The location is also great, very close to metro station, 15min away from city center. I highly recommend it, especially for big groups, since there was more than enough space.
The only one little things: there is no hairdryer in the apartment

Not much to do in Essen.
Not much to do in Essen. I was there for a security event, so it was a fly-in fly-out for four days. I wanted to have time to visit some historical sights, but nothing within walking distance from the city centre. The town is full of shops, restaurants and bars. But that's pretty much it; I wouldn't recommend it as a place to visit.

Historical Essen was destroyed during WWII so vast majority of the city is quite new with very modern appearance except from some wonderful churches, still one can also find interesting historical monuments here - e.g. Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex (we enjoyed a guide tour for two hours and had a coffee and went here to open swimming pool!), remarkable medieval old town houses in Kettwig (some parts date back to the 14th century!) and huge botanical garden (Botanischer Garten der Universität Duisburg-Essen). This summer (2022) is 8 Euro month ticket valid for all German local trains, so you can travel as much as you like.

The area around main transit station (HBF) is very metropolitan - tiny untidy shops of several cultures to quickly provide food and minor services to a traveller. Very convenient at day, but somewhat uncomfortable during evening and night hours.
I was only around there and around Zollverein.
Zollverein is an absolutely stunning venue.
Consider it as a huge park with decaying remains of an old Gardaland/Disneyland overgrown with vegetation. It's really just remains of a coal processing plant.
Note: I was outside only.
We have stayed in this hotel around 8 years ago, and today everything looks the same - as it was opened just yesterday. The hotel is made in traditional German style and there you will find all authentic details. Very nice breakfast and very gentle personal.
It is located a bit far away from Essen center, but that is only an advantage. It is located in very quite and cosy district, arount you can find the forest to go for a walk, good restourants near by and small cosy “center” where you can find the shops, CAFE and etc.
Namaste! The management went out of their way to help me out, including changing my room to another which I liked more (room nr. 36, the best!), allowing me a very early-check-in about 13:00, and offering me a breakfast plate although I was half an hour late after the closing time. Just a totally customer service-oriented place, the sort of thing that you never get these days at bigger hotels any more. As a frequent visitor to Dortmund/Essen, I can recommend this place very highly.
The hotel is in a slightly old-fashioned style. It is noticeable that certain parts of the rooms and hotel have been renovated. The room was of a decent size, very clean and the bed quite comfortable. The location has a positive and negative side. Positive: it is located quite centrally, easy to reach various places. Negative: it is very loud at night. The staff was nice. The breakfast has decent choices to choose from. Small and cosy area.
All the staff were so friendly and helpful.
The hotel was close to the center, only about 10 min walk with a slow 5 year old. And 15 mins to Essen train station with the 5 year olds little feet.
The shower was the world's best shower. It was remarkable.
Price. Booked a week in advance and a fantastic price. If you want all the fancy trimmings book somehwhere else. But this ticked every box, for the price it was great!
Great Host, clean house, everything was great here. I don't have anything to say TBH. However, we arrived late compared to our check in time, the host waited for us and opened the door and delivered the key and instructions. I recommend this place to anyone else wants to stay at Essen Germany.
Knew Premier Hotels from the UK and was some time ago a bit surprised it is now also in Germany. Have since stayed in some and all were to same standard and obviously trying hard to woo guests with good service and often low prices. And now even also on booking.
An all around wonderful hotel! Location is great as it’s a 7 minute walk from the Essen HBF. The hotel is clean and modern. The staff were extremely friendly. The bar and the lobby area puts the cherry on top
everything that i made a membership to stay further in NH hotels , everything was perfect except for the parking that was always full and i had to park in the parking across.
Super modern and new hotel. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was good and extensive. Very good location, right at the beginning of the Christmas market, in the city centre.
Very close to Klinik Essen Mitte. Very friendly stuff. I was wondering before my stay whether it is an older type of hotel, but was modern bathroom, top bed and very clean
The Hotel is at a very good location, walking distance from the Essen Central railway station.
The facility is neat and clean. The staff is very polite and helpful.
