They are still re-opening/re-arranging areas of the old mines for the people. You can get on the terrain without paying a fee and just walk around. There is also a cycling path. I would suggest to visit the museum. The very long escalator is a highlight itself. There is plenty to see. You can have a drink afterwards at the cafe. Plenty of parkingspaces. The area is also good accessable by train. Everywhere in Essen you see pictures of the Zollverein. Happy I finally got to meet it, in real life????.

Here you can spend a nice day/night and that without entrance fee. If you are free from giddiness, you can climb up to the top of the blast furnace (approx. 80 meters) and enjoy the fantastic view of the surrounding area. Hobby photographers get their money's worth here, motives at every corner in this former steel mill. In the twilight the whole charm with special lighting comes to the fore, guided or also introduced inspections are also possible in the dark and maybe you are lucky and you can enjoy a wonderful sunset on top of the blast furnace. A snack is also possible. Diving in the gasometer and climbing in the former bunkers is unfortunately reserved for club members.

The extraction, processing and utilization of mineral geo-resources, subsumed here under the term ‘mining’, is a subject with great significance for the development of human civilization. The global importance of mining is increasing today, and will no doubt continue to do so in future. This is clear from the political campaigns and the intense media reactions associated with issues of raw material supplies and shortages, and also resource conservation (recycling and the use of renewable energy sources). The work of the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum, as the leading international museum on the mining industry, takes place within this socially relevant context. As one of the Leibniz Association’s research museums, the DBM is devoted to investigating the extraction, processing and utilization of mineral raw materials in the context of social, cultural, ecological and economic dynamics, spanning different historical periods. The museum shows the lasting impact which these processes have had on the development of society, and preserves relevant evidence for future generations. In short: The Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum is the cultural memory of the mining industry.

A must see when visiting the Ruhr Valley. Interesting and historically accurate. Not ideal for small children or people with walking disability.

They don’t come much better than this in my opinion. This stadium has it all, it is big, great views all around, fantastic atmosphere - especially when Dortmund are playing, quick and easy to get to from the town as it is well served by public transport and they don’t rip you off to get in.

I took the metro to the park. There are 2 stations. From Gruga/Messe West it is only a few steps to the park. I enjoyed my early morning run here. I could just go through the gate without paying a fee. The park is beautiful! You can walk, run, place. Enjoy the water, statues and nature. For the kids there are trampolines and playgrounds. You can enjoy a coffee or snack at one of the bistros. It is nice to walk by the Ronald McDonald Haus designed by the architect Hundertwasser. There is also a path especially created for wheelchairs/strollers.
