One of Europe's Culture Capitals

Once a city of steel and coal mining, Essen is now one of the cultural capitals of Europe, and one of Germany’s greenest cities. It's home to many historical landmarks like 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, while Essen’s historical past is displayed through landmarks like Basilica St Ludgerus, Alte Kirche and the Old Synagogue Essen.

The main shopping area is based around Kettwiger Strasse, in the vicinity of Essen’s medieval Dom featuring several priceless artworks. 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 features direct links to Oberhausen, Dortmund, Cologne, Duisburg, and Dusseldorf. Booking.com has tons of accommodations in North Rhine-Westphalia and Essen.

    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.

    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.

    We have been on the road for several weeks in England and Germany. This hotel was well above all the other hotels we stayed in. We really appreciated the room service that cleaned our room during our absence during the day. Also, we appreciated that we could extend our stay for a day without having to pay a higher rate.

    Staying at the Sheraton in Essen was a delightful experience! Having not visited in years, I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly, and the hotel has maintained its sparkling appearance beautifully. Sheraton Essen is definitely my go-to destination in the city.
