The Urban.Trail Bochum is your buddy. A tour through the real Revier—where trends and tradition say good night to each other and multicultural city life is celebrated. The starting point is Bochum Central Station, from where you’ll dive right into the urban action. A quick stop at the Bochum Planetarium offers you glimpses into distant galaxies before you reach the German Mining Museum—the world’s largest of its kind, featuring stories from underground. Next up is the Kortländer Kiez, a trendy neighborhood with a true melting pot vibe, where cultures, cafés, and creative energy come together.

After the neighborhood, the trail takes you to Westpark and the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum—hotspots for nightlife, culture, and trendy shopping. The legendary Bermuda3Eck awaits you with its famous nightlife in the Ruhr region—here, Bochum pulses with energy until the early morning hours. The journey continues through Ehrenfeld, a neighborhood that isn’t classically beautiful but is wonderfully diverse. The grand finale is the Pottwal Mural—the top choice as a selfie hotspot.
