For culture enthusiasts and those looking to explore the city's history, the Bochum City Centre (Bochum Mitte) is the ideal location. Here, you'll find a range of hotels close to the Bochum Museum, the Zeiss Planetarium, and the renowned Schauspielhaus Bochum. The area is a hub for shopping and dining, with the popular Bermuda3Eck ('Bermuda Triangle') offering an array of bars, cafes, and restaurants.
Visitors with a focus on business may prefer to stay near the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB). The Querenburg district offers accommodations close to the university's extensive campus and the Botanical Gardens. The district also provides a quieter atmosphere while granting easy access to the more bustling parts of the city.
For those looking for a more picturesque and laid-back experience, the park-surrounded area of Stiepel offers charming hotels and bed and breakfast options. This southern quarter of Bochum harbours the beautiful Stiepel Village Church and is perfect for tourists interested in hiking and nature walks along the Ruhr River.
Bochum's public transport system is highly efficient, comprising the U-Bahn (underground train), trams, and buses that navigate the city and its surroundings. Visitors can purchase tickets for simple journeys or day passes for unlimited travel within Bochum. For those who prefer driving, car rentals are available, and the city is well-connected through a network of roads and motorways, allowing for convenient travel both within Bochum and to neighbouring cities.
