Hotels in Ruhr Region, Germany

The Ruhr Region in western Germany has a temperate climate with cold winters (around 32°F or 0°C) and warm summers (75°F or 24°C), famously home to the Zeche Zollverein coal mine complex in Essen, a UNESCO World Heritage site now housing museums and galleries. In summer, you can bike along the Emscher River's new green corridors or catch live indie and electronic music concerts at the Jahrhunderthalle in Bochum, a former industrial hall. During winter, save money with off-peak hotel rates while exploring indoor art at Museum Folkwang or climbing the winding staircases of the Tetrahedron viewing platform in Bottrop for a panoramic skyline.
