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.
Essen was mostly destroyed in the war. Everything in the city center is either ugly 50s or even uglier 70s buildings. The shopping district has mostly Döner take-aways and mobile phone shops, public transport grinds to a 30-minute tact after 20h even on the main lines and stops at 23h, cultural offers are sparse (but if you have a car, you can always travel over the always jammed A40 to Düsseldorf, Dortmund or Duisburg … also ugly, but slightly bigger, Düsseldorf even has car sharing providers that none of the other have). Nicer houses are in Essen-Bredeney on the hill-top with the Villa Krupp and in Essen-Werden, where the Folkwang University has a good concert and performance schedule, the Baldeney See is a huge lake and the Zeche Zollverein an interesting mining-related museum with cool tours, and Museum Folkwang has surprisingly many big names for such a poor city. But other than that, avoid Essen at all cost.

Our visit to Essen was prompted by our attendance at a stamp collectors' exhibition at the "Messe". The exhibition halls and facilities are world class.
We also visited the excellent art Museum Folkwang, and the new museums at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zollverein (discontinued but preserved coal mine and coke processing plant) as well as the Krupp family mansion, "Villa Hugel".
Essen is off the beaten tourist path, which is not at all a bad thing.
Public transportation was esy to use with a 24/48 hour pass but the main train station was pretty confusing.

Apartment was great, very clean, and It looks exactly like on the pictures! The location is also great, very close to metro station, 15min away from city center. I highly recommend it, especially for big groups, since there was more than enough space.
The only one little things: there is no hairdryer in the apartment

Not much to do in Essen.
Not much to do in Essen. I was there for a security event, so it was a fly-in fly-out for four days. I wanted to have time to visit some historical sights, but nothing within walking distance from the city centre. The town is full of shops, restaurants and bars. But that's pretty much it; I wouldn't recommend it as a place to visit.

Historical Essen was destroyed during WWII so vast majority of the city is quite new with very modern appearance except from some wonderful churches, still one can also find interesting historical monuments here - e.g. Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex (we enjoyed a guide tour for two hours and had a coffee and went here to open swimming pool!), remarkable medieval old town houses in Kettwig (some parts date back to the 14th century!) and huge botanical garden (Botanischer Garten der Universität Duisburg-Essen). This summer (2022) is 8 Euro month ticket valid for all German local trains, so you can travel as much as you like.

The area around main transit station (HBF) is very metropolitan - tiny untidy shops of several cultures to quickly provide food and minor services to a traveller. Very convenient at day, but somewhat uncomfortable during evening and night hours.
I was only around there and around Zollverein.
Zollverein is an absolutely stunning venue.
Consider it as a huge park with decaying remains of an old Gardaland/Disneyland overgrown with vegetation. It's really just remains of a coal processing plant.
Note: I was outside only.
I had a kettle in my room. A complimentary bottle of sparking water (1 liter) was provided every day. There were enough electrical outlets, although I had to unplug a couple of lamps to fit my convenience. The hotel personnel was very attentive. A complimentary "lunch bag" was provided with the breakfast, although for personal reasons I didn't have the chance to taste it. WiFi worked fine for me and it didn't seem to have any notable caps or limitations (I've watched videos and had online meetings without issues).
We have stayed at the Schmactenburg several times; this is our favorite hotel in Essen. Our dear friend lives in Essen and the hotel is literally 90 seconds from our friend's flat! The staff is amazing--Hielike (sp?) and the rest of the staff are both friendly and helpful. We have eaten at the restaurant twice and each time the food has been amazing!!! Our compliments to the chefs each time! The hotel has an old time feel and comfort with updated rooms and amenities! Can't imagine staying anywhere else in Essen!!!
I had a lovely room on the top floor, away from street noises. This is an older pension style hotel with charm and character. Very close to the underground/tram in Essen. I was really surprised and pleased to receive a free ticket for Essen transport services good for local trams etc. so that actually saved me a bit of money over the two days. The hotel is very convenient to the Essen Messe which I was visiting (a 15minute walk or a 5 minute underground). And loads of shops, restaurants nearby.
The stay itself was good. The room and facilities are also good. The rooms towards the busy street side are also quiet Breakfast is a bit overpriced, but otherwise plenty of choice with enough space in the breakfast room. The value for money without breakfast included was good. The staff in general was friendly but with one exception. The location is okay and still in the centrum . Two stops by underground streetcar from Central Station Essen or a 20 min walk . Stop is beside Hotel
Location a short-ish walk from the Train station but a chance to see some of Essen on the way. Check in fast and nice staff. Room clean, ‘funky’, free water, good air conditioner, rooftop area worth a look, bar area nice and breakfast very good - top marks to the female member of staff who was working her socks off to keep everything topped up. Also top marks for soundproofing- didn’t hear a thing, not the usual door closing of hotels, not a pin drop! Amazing :-)
That was one of the best experience with the hotels ever! The check in is contactless, every step is explained and very easy to follow. The room was surprisenly big, cosy and clean. They left some nice sweet presents for me. The location of the hotel is very comfortable, everything that you need is 3-5 minutes apart. Extremely pleasant stay! I will absolutely definitely book it again if I will go to Essen. Thanks a lot!
The rooms were perfectly adequate as a sole traveller. The bar and table space to play games whilst visiting Essen Spiel 2022 were atmospheric and the staff could not do enough to help us. Every member of your team was friendly and helpful. Free tea and coffee in the bar and quick wi-fi meant that my friends who stayed at another hotel preferred to hang out at the Moxy with me!
The hotel was easy to find, has its own parking, check-in was very simple and fast, all the facilities were clean like they were brand new. Manager is available for a call all the time for a question or a problem. Wi-fi was good, hotel is quiet and worth the money you pay.
Exceptionally kind and helpful staff, they sincerely try to assist you in any way possible.
The hotel is not that big, but very cozy.
The location is quite good - it's quite and serene around the hotel; also there is a metro/city train station nearby for easy commute.
Hotel location is very good. You are close to the highway and train station. Facilities are really clean and well maintained. Bathroom was like new, bed was super comfortable, room had everything you need and staff was very nice and helpfull.
Apartment had plenty of room and very well furnished. Location is excellent for the Essen Christmas Market and close to plenty of shopping and restaurants. Covered parking (on request) is very convenient and directly under apartment.
I found the Hotel to be most comfortable and so close to the Exhibition venue at Messen making it an ideal place to stay in the future. The reception staff highly efficient.
The rooms are spacious, functional and clean. Staff is very helpful and friendly. also the premises around the hotel are nice and green.
Breakfast is OK.
