Gelsenkirchen

The city in the heart of the Ruhr region lives and breathes soccer. There is hardly any way around FC Schalke 04. You will discover the most modern "soccer temple" in Europe, the Arena. A visit is not only worthwhile for Schalke fans. The club also stands for the mining tradition of the city. The "miners" determined life in Gelsenkirchen. With numerous museums, parks or projects, the planners set a monument to them and their hard work. During a visit to the grounds of the old Nordstern colliery, for example, you will learn and experience many exciting things. Another highlight of the city is the "ZOOM" world of experience. Here you can take a "trip around the world in one day"!
