Holidays in Essen

Things that always fill you with regret — drunk messaging your ex. Things you never ever regret — travelling. So isn't it about time you got your adventure on in Essen?

Did you know 600,000 people call this place home? You're sure to have some new BFFs by the time your trip comes to an end!

Essen isn't too far away from Velbert, which is situated 14 kilometres to the south. Berlin, the national capital, is to be found 450 kilometres to the east.

Every family member will love stops at the Movie Park Germany and the Cranger Kirmes. If that isn't enough to wear the little ones out, why not visit the Explorado Kindermuseum and AQUApark Oberhausen as well?

Plunge into an underwater world that's teeming with sea life at Sea Life Oberhausen. Come to think of it, you might be better off staying on dry land. Some of these sly critters shouldn't be meddled with!

Marvel at the animals, big and small, that call the Duisburg Zoo and the Kaisergarten Park and Zoo home. You'll also get an insight into the world of wildlife at the Tierpark und Fossilium Bochum and the ZOOM Erlebniswelt.

For a calming afternoon out, pay a visit to the Bochum Botanical Garden or the Grugapark Botanical Garden. The wandering trails and beautifully sculpted garden beds are sure to please. Another delightful place to spend time with nature is the Botanischer Garten.

Feel like an alfresco lunch? Grab some sandwiches and crisps and head to Landscape Park or Tiger and Turtle - Magic Mountain for a relaxed picnic. Berne Park and Nordsternpark are also popular meeting points for both visitors and locals.

Why not take a stroll around Sechs-Seen-Platte or Six Lakes Park? Or, you could simply sit down by the water's edge and try and spot some colourful waterbirds.

Craving a bit of time by the ocean? Take a nice, relaxing walk and collect seashells at Seaside Beach Baldeney.

The Red Dot Design Museum and the LVR Industrial Museum both have a number of unique displays. Ask the welcoming staff about guided tours or wander the serene halls on your own. The German Mining Museum and the Industry Museum Henrichshuette are also decent institutions.

Ignite your curiosity at Zeiss Planetarium Bochum, where you'll be surrounded by the latest and greatest in science technology.

We aren't exactly sure how the LWL Museum of Archaeology and the Ruhr Museum have managed to jam-pack so many of earth's treasures into just two spaces. A visit to either will thrill you for hours on end. For more from the natural world, stop by the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum.

With such a wide range of wonderful art collections to pick from, you might need a small push in the right direction. We recommend picking up a coffee and heading over to the Folkwang Museum or the Ikonen-Museum. Also check to see what exhibitions are on at the Museum Kuppersmuhle and the Kunsthaus Essen.

Enjoy your history? Don't just read about the past in textbooks, discover it in real life at the Vestisches Museum. Are you eager to discover even more? Then put the Culture and Local History Museum and the Museum Schloss Lembeck on your itinerary too.

Enjoy a better understanding of the past by checking out a few of Essen's historic attractions. Though you're spoilt for options, Villa Hugel and the Old Synagogue are a good place to start. If time isn't an issue, the Zollverein Coal Mine World Heritage Site and Duisburg Town Hall are two more must-visits.

For a mythical escape, look up and gaze at the stately frontage of Beck Castle and Wittringen Castle. Broich Castle and Isenburg Castle also look as though they belong to the pages of a fantasy book. If you're lucky, there might be a guided tour scheduled.

You don't need to be a believer to visit Duisburg Salvatorkirche and Essen Cathedral, two sites famous for their cultural and spiritual value. If you're happy to discover more, continue your sightseeing at the DITIB Merkez Mosque and Basilica St. Ludgerus.

You may feel like you've crossed everything off your list after exploring Essen's most impressive sights, but don't check in for that flight home just yet. There are still a few things which are worth a look. Why not enjoy a bit more sightseeing at Alpincenter Bottrop and the Tetrahedon Bottrop? The Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex in Essen and the Light Castle are some other choices.

Hotels in Essen

Whether you're seeking the basics or the whole kit and caboodle, Essen has you sorted! For a bed that won't burn a hole through your wallet, you can't go past the Motel One Essen, located at Kennedyplatz 3, or the Hotel Palla Garni, at Eppinghoferstrasse 31. But if you'd rather live a life of leisure and luxury while you're here, the Sheraton Essen Hotel or the Hotel Rhein-Ruhr might be more to your liking. Just sit back, relax and let the friendly staff do what they do best.
