Veltins-Arena & FC Schalke 04

The Veltins-Arena with 62,000 seats is home to FC Schalke 04 and a venue for international football matches and major concerts. Arrivals of organised Schalke fan clubs from across Germany, concert group trips and Champions League trips are core jobs for Gelsenkirchen bus companies – including parking concepts and late returns.

ZOOM Erlebniswelt & Family Destinations

ZOOM Erlebniswelt with its three naturalistically designed worlds Africa, Alaska and Asia is among Germany's most modern zoos. School classes, kindergartens and family groups from the Ruhr area and across NRW book day trips by coach – often combined with lunch packages.

Nordsternpark & Halde Rungenberg

Nordsternpark on the former colliery site combines industrial history with modern art (Halde Rungenberg, Hercules sculpture). Day trips along the Industrial Heritage Trail with stops at Zollverein (Essen), the Gasometer (Oberhausen) and the Mining Museum (Bochum) are classic school trip assignments.

Ruhr Area Tours

Gelsenkirchen lies conveniently between Essen (15 km), Dortmund (35 km) and Oberhausen (15 km). Coaches cover the Ruhr area with day or multi-day tours along the industrial heritage route, the Emscher park or the Centro shopping tours in Oberhausen.
