Experience Essen

Discover the city of Essen with a wide range of shopping and nightlife options, sights, cultural landmarks, industrial heritage, as well as parks, recreation areas and hiking trails. From the historic districts of Werden and Kettwig to the vibrant Rüttenscheid quarter with its cafés, pubs and restaurants, the trade fair Essen and much more—this dynamic Ruhr metropolis has something for everyone.

Essen is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zeche Zollverein, often referred to as the "most beautiful coal mine in the world." This iconic site offers a deep dive into industrial culture, featuring guided tours, events and dining experiences at the once largest and most powerful coal mine in the world and the largest central coking plant in Europe.

Nature lovers will also find plenty to explore, including the Baldeneysee recreation area, the scenic Baldeneysteig trail or the Grugapark. The Aalto Theater, the Philharmonie and the Grillo Theater are also well-known beyond the city limits. Culture and shopping are not neglected either: the Folkwang Museum offers art exhibitions, and you can shop to your heart's desire at Limbecker Platz and Königshof.

The economically strongest city in the Ruhr region is home to several major corporations such as RWE, E.ON, Thyssenkrupp, Hochtief and Deichmann. The University Medical Center Essen is one of the leading university hospitals in research and medicine. The international trade fair Essen also attracts visitors from all over the world to the Ruhr region, for example for the world's leading gardening trade fair “IPM”, the international trade fair “E-world energy & water”, the world equestrian fair “Equitana”, the world fair for classic cars “Techno-Classica”, the games fair, the Motor Show and much more.

The city’s annual Christmas market, held for six weeks at locations including Kennedyplatz, attracts international visitors. It has received the award for “Best Christmas Market in Germany” for the third time in a row (2023, 2024, 2025) and was voted “Best Sustainable Christmas Market in Europe” in 2025.

Experience Bremerhaven

The maritime city of Bremerhaven at the mouth of the Weser has a lot to offer: whether you are coming to Bremerhaven for a cruise and planning something to do before or after, or visiting the city because of its many sights, there is always something new to discover here, such as the Havenwelten, a unique museum landscape. The new harbour offers numerous attractions, including the German Emigration Centre, the “Zoo am Meer” and the training ship Deutschland.

In the old harbour, the climate house, the Wilhelm Bauer submarine, the world's only preserved Type XXI submarine, the German Maritime Museum, the museum ship FMS Gera, Europe's only floating deep-sea fishing museum, the Moin Outlet and the Columbus Shopping Centre attract visitors to the coast all year round. A walk along the dyke, whether towards the Weser lido, the Schaufenster Fischereihafen (fishing harbour showcase) or the cruise or container port, is an inviting way to relax. Excursions to Cuxhaven or Helgoland also start from here.

Bremerhaven also offers a wide range of cultural activities, for example at the city theatre, the art museum, the historical museum or one of the many concerts held directly in front of the church “Bürgermeister-Smidt-Gedächtniskirche”. Special events include the ‘Sail’ – an international windjammer parade – and the annual Christmas market, which enchants the city.

Bremerhaven is also a commercial and industrial city, not only because it has the largest closed container terminal facility in Europe. Did you know that nowhere else in the world are so many fish sticks produced, namely 1.5 billion per year? Containerterminalanlage in ganz Europa. Wussten Sie, dass sonst nirgendwo auf der Welt so viele Fischstäbchen produziert werden, nämlich 1,5 Milliarden pro Jahr?

It is not without reason that Bremerhaven is also known as the city of science: it is home to important scientific institutions such as the Alfred Wegener Institute, the Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, the two Thünen Institutes for Sea Fisheries and Fisheries Ecology, and the Fraunhofer Institute. The city also has its own university.

Reviews

The apartment was super clean and well equipped, we didn't want for anything and felt right at home. The Stay Your Way team was immediately available, helpful and very friendly when we had any questions about the area. The central location in Rüttenscheid with its proximity to the trade fair Essen and the city centre was perfect for us, especially with the garage. All in all: simply great!

The apartment is absolutely beautiful and exactly as described. The box spring beds were incredibly comfortable, and everything was in top condition—well-maintained and spotlessly clean. The location was perfect for us. We arrived by train and reached the apartment in less than 10 minutes. Having so many restaurants, cafés, and entertainment options nearby was extremely convenient. We had a quick question, and the host responded immediately and very kindly. We would love to come back!
