Family Time in the Ruhr Region: Our Favourite Days Out

A home away from home for the whole family

The Ruhr region is greener and more varied than many people expect. From our apartments you can reach plenty of great destinations in no time at all – ideal for a few relaxed days with the children.

Zeche Zollverein & industrial heritage

The UNESCO World Heritage Site Zeche Zollverein in Essen-Katernberg is an experience for young and old alike: sprawling grounds, fascinating industrial history and a steady stream of events. A classic that never gets old.

Eating out together in the Ruhr region — After a day out, a meal together tastes twice as good.

Greenery and water

The Grugapark in Essen invites you to stroll, play and picnic. If you prefer a waterside setting, head to the Baldeneysee in the south of Essen – perfect for a walk along the shore or a bike ride.

For young and old

Nearby you will also find the Gasometer Oberhausen with its spectacular exhibitions and the Westfield CentrO for a day of shopping and browsing whatever the weather. Just check the current opening hours in advance.

Choose your apartment – we look forward to welcoming your family.
