More culture than you'd expect
Essen is often underestimated – yet the city is a genuine cultural hub. If you're looking for something to do in the evening or at the weekend, you'll be spoilt for choice.
Art and stage
Museum Folkwang is one of Germany's best-known art museums and is always worth a visit. Lovers of the performing arts should head to the architecturally striking Aalto-Theater and the Philharmonie Essen. It's best to check current programmes and tickets directly in advance.
Industrial heritage up close
Zeche Zollverein with the Ruhr Museum remains a must – industrial history, impressive architecture and changing exhibitions all in one place. From here you'll see the Ruhr region with completely different eyes.
Everything within easy reach
The best part: from our apartments you're right in the middle of it all in no time – and just as quickly back in your quiet little oasis in the evening. Take a look at our apartments.
