UNESCO World Heritage Zeche Zollverein

Zeche Zollverein is Essen's landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2001 – once the world's most beautiful colliery, today home to the Ruhr Museum, Red Dot Design Museum and PACT Zollverein. School trips, cultural visits and corporate outings by coach are among the most booked services from Essen providers, often combined with city tours and guided visits.

Spiel Fair, IPM & E-world – Messe Essen

Messe Essen hosts the Spiel fair (the world's largest board game fair with over 200,000 visitors), IPM Essen (horticulture) and E-world energy & water. Exhibitor and visitor shuttles from the Ruhr area and across Germany plus hotel logistics are part of regular daily business.

Baldeneysee & Werden Abbey Town

Lake Baldeneysee in southern Essen offers Weiße Flotte boat trips, a lido and a lakeside promenade – a popular excursion destination. Combined with Werden Abbey town and Schloss Hugenpoet, a versatile day programme emerges for club, corporate and family outings by coach from across the Ruhr area.

Grugapark, Folkwang & Philharmonie

Grugapark with over 70 hectares of green space, the Folkwang Museum (one of Germany's most significant art collections) and the Essen Philharmonie with the Grugahalle offer space for culture, concerts and recreation. School and senior groups as well as cultural trips by coach are everyday business.
