Best Essen Tours & Trips

See one of Germany’s largest cities that you might never have even heard of. Essen is a vast city of commerce and culture. In fact, in 2010, it was named the European Capital of Culture. Essen has a treasure trove of museums including the Folkwang, one of Germany’s best, which exhibits works from such masters as Monet, Gauguin and even Van Gogh. Another quite unique Essen attraction is the UNESCO World Heritage Site former coal mine Zollverein, which today is a museum and performance space with artist studios and a fine restaurant.
