Essen is one of the beating hearts of the Ruhr region. But if you're thinking of a dreary industrial backdrop, you're on the wrong track: Essen has been awarded the title of "European Green Capital 2017", is a fair trade city and offers environmentally friendly and sustainable "green meetings". Mobility, energy and climate play just as big a role as resources, catering and communication.
The supporting program is well taken care of in Essen: the many excursion options include the UNESCO World Heritage Site Zeche Zollverein, the venerable Villa Hügel of the Krupp family and the Folkwang Museum.
Essen can be easily reached from all directions by both freeway and plane, and all major long-distance trains stop at Essen Central Station, including ICE and Metropolitan. Essen Convention can help you plan and organize events in the green Ruhr region.
