Essen and the Ruhr
Post-industrial heart of the Ruhr, between mining heritage, museums, brownfields, parks and nearby towns.
To understand what Essen and Ruhr are, look at Zollverein, Museum Folkwang and Villa Hügel. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the big city, urban life and heritage and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: very urbanised area and scattered sites. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Place
Zollverein
Zollverein transforms the old industrial world of the Ruhr into a cultural landscape, with horse-riding, bricks, rails and rehabilitated buildings. The site is struck by its scale and graphic rigor, particularly interesting to understand how Essen has converted its mining memory.
Museo
Museum Folkwang
The Museum Folkwang offers one of the major artistic stages of Essen, with a strong collection in modern painting, photography and graphic arts. Its clarity of course makes it a very pleasant interior stop, especially to balance the industrial discovery of the Ruhr.
Heritage
Villa Hügel
Villa Hügel tells of the industrial power of the Krupp family through an imposing house and its park above the Baldeneysee. There is less a private house than a social and economic symbol, linked to the rise of the Ruhr.
