Expected more. It is basically a domed cinema. No much if exhibit. I certainley recommend booking in advance as I did not do that and did not get to entet to the show due to fullness of the planitarium.I would say that it probably deserve more than this rating should I had the chance to see the show.

Amazing show 👏🏻✨️ Friendly colleague.

We went to a very nice exposition called “from big bang to humanity”. It was really nice explained and very understanding even if it wasn’t in my mother language. Very recommended place!!! We will come gladly to another exhibition

A definitive visit. Enjoyed my time there 👍 but I should say English shows are not available.

We went to the Planetarium Bochum with our kid for the first time and all of us had a blast. We had been there before, even as kids ourselves. It’s always nice to get a perspective on science and possible futures. The staff there is always so friendly and the prices are fair for what is shown. Definitely read the descriptions of the program or watch the trailers and decide what best fits your interest. Also if you don’t want to wait, buy tickets online. Full recommendation.

Our 2nd time here. Enjoyable for adults and kids. Highly recommended

Very nice. Here there are lot of during the day. Ticket prices and information about the shows are available on their website. The show which I watched is really interesting. Also several children are at the show and they are really interesting to watch the show. The projector and the screen is very big and good clarity picture. It projects all over the top sealing of the planetarium. Tickets can also buy at the counter for these shows. Other than that there are some interesting articles in the corrider such as several pictures, an astronaut suit model where people can take the pictures, an old projector, and other interesting things are there. A small cafe and WC are also available here.

The trains are good but almost non of them are open

Great for a day out, but pick good weather as you need to walk outside a bit. Unfortunately, they had some staffing issues, so we couldn’t ride the train, but otherwise it’s nice to see all the historic machines.

What can i say except TRAINs. If you like them that is the place to go. On special days there is a tour with a train. Bring your own food and drinks😉.

Historical museum. You need about 30 minutes max to go through all but its very interesting. Description is also in english. The ticket costs 9,50 euros.

Very interesting railway museum located in a preserved maintenance facility. The exhibits include a wide range of German railway equipment, many of them consisting of a representative selection of steam engines. The feeling of being on an active old marshalling yard is preserved by the train rides on the adjoining line and the many preserved buildings and facilities. A must for railfans.

Lovely industrial railway museum. Worth the walk from the station

Great venue to have a whisky tasting. Enjoy the old trains and history.

If you are in or have been in the mining industry or want to learn more about the mining industry and what keeps our lights on and our lives as rich as they are, this is a must visit. The underground tour is informative and immersive in it detail of the transformation of the world of underground mining from its humble hand dug beginning to it’s automated and mechanical current reality. The museum above ground with its interactive models and displays is incredibly well done.

Great to have more understanding of mining history, machineries and equipment in Germany. Also, understand the largest mining district, Ruhr Area and population development from 300,000 in 1820 to 5.7 million in 1961. Very informative and worth to spend several hours.

An excellent museum with an amazing recreation of a mine that takes you through the ages of mining. Once you've finished the mine tour there is a huge museum and it can take you 4 to 5 hours to get through it all. There are documentaries to watch, interactive exhibits, an amazing cafe, and clean toilets throughout the museum. The Mining Museum is setup for German and English speaking visitors.

A very unique and interesting experience. The visitor's mine tour was fun and informative. Would definitely recommend visiting this museum. The tour was only available in german but we were offered booklets with english explanations about all the equipments. The audio tour wasn't available when we went. The exhibition on hard coal and miners livelihood was very well done. Learnt a lot about miners and how they contributed to this region of germany.

Great place to visit. The guides were amazing and spoke in German and English. Gave a real sense of what mining was like when the mine was in operation. Second time I visited. I highly recommend it.

Interesting museum about the coal mining and the society around in Germany. Don‘t miss a guided tour through the show mine, it gives you a feeling of being a miner in an authentic surrounding.

The visit starts with a lengthy exploration of a coal mine under the museum. There are hundreds (?) of metres of tunnels on two levels open to the visitor. The displays are extensive and excellent. Equipment from different periods is presented. After the tunnels, a lift then takes the visitor to the top of the winch tower for great views, finally returning to the "normal" part of the museum. Fascinating, world class. Well worth a visit.

Very pretty garden maintained by the RUB. I enjoyed the walk all through. The entire garden is downhill. So it takes more strain to reach back than expected.

It was a nice place to visit. However seeing part of the Chinese house was temporary closed due to vulgar activities of previous visitors was so sad. I wish it can be renovated soon.

Super cute botanical garden with every single plant being labeled. The Chinese garden as well as the greenhouses with all the cactuses were the highlight. Really well taken care of, big space. Loved it!!

Excitingly beautiful garden with various exotic plants around the world and exhibits (sometimes have to pay or donate for a few euros) Entrance to the garden and green houses are free.

It's a great place to take your friend and family. They have several exhibits covering Savannah, Australia, south east Asia etc. The green houses are climate controlled and every one of them are different. They are meticulously maintenaned by the botanists in the university. There is a nice cafeteria if you need a break; a lot to see. All the trees and plants are labeled for your convenience. I did not see a guided tour as such.

We enjoyed being there, we found pepper and cactus gardens the most impressive. There are many plants to see. Chinese garden is well decorated and we saw fish in this garden. Parking place and entrance are free, it is worth seeing there.

Lovely little oasis of calm. Great for a nice walk with lots to see. The Chinese garden is beautiful. The three themed (rain forest, desert, savanna) hot houses are well laid out and planted. Good access although could be difficult in parts for wheel chair users as some of the ramps are overgrown.

Entry for the permanent exhibition was free and the temporary exhibition was affordable as well. Lots of abstract art which isn't exactly my style but can't knock it down when it's free. 60-90mins is a good amount of time to budget.

Beautiful museum with lots to see which is a short walk from the centre of Bochum. The permanent collection is beautifully presented. Concentrates on artists who lived and worked in Germany. Rather a dour collection. Interesting contemporary artists on show.

A small but very interesting museum close to the city center. Perfect for a Sunday activity when all shops are closed or on a rainy day! They also have a cafe on the ground floor, a lot to choose from.

nice location next to park, good architecture, good exhibitions 👌

Small museum with cafeteria. When we were there, there was only an exhibition, not the regular collection. Be ware that it was not possible to pay with foreign debit card.

Some lovely modernist pieces here

Quirky, non conventional

Interest place,very nice.

Best shopping place, many brands available Parking and electric car charging available near the facility We were there on Jan 1st, few shops are open.. but management decided to close all toilets. It was hard time finding toilets

A really nice shopping centre with many different stores. There's something for everyone. It's a nice place to bring the family or to visit with friends and just casually walk about, grab a meal or a little treat.

Very nice place, everything except grocery is available. Parking is everywhere and for free. Very good and family friendly place

It was a great fabric market. I like it much. The dominant mixtures were bleu-green fleece. Many of different Jersey fabrics in a huge combinations. Good quality. For each wallet.

Lovely shopping place, beautiful atmosphere, open areas, lots of lovely designed benches and sitting places, and almost all the shopping brands from Germany. Loved the place, easily accessible from bus as Ruhrpark stop. Not many eating options available but what is there is still alot. Kiki’s kitchen cheese cake is a must try, light and yummy.

Large and modern Shopping Mall with free parking(specially marked parking spaces for women, parents with young children, invalids, electric car chargers, place for bikes and repair Tools). Modern and clean Toilets are also free.

Usually in Germany everything is for money, in Ruhr Park the parking and Toilets are free. It is similar to Dubai open mall. You can find all markas here. H&M, C&A, Zara, media markt, kauflan, Mac, some restaurantsand coffee......

Part of the industrial heritage tour in NRW (Ruhrgebied) and this building belongs to the same heritage of many sites still existing. I think it is very wise to preserve coal and steel factories and mines as much as possible, as it tells a story and shows history why and how it was done, also the good,bad and ugly parts. Also reuse of parts in/of buildings and factories for creativity innovation and culture makes it an unique experience.

Creative art space with stunning old structure of industrial buildings

Wonderful location also for weddings and concerts. Great walks around the area, best recreation opportunities.

Die Jahrhunderthalle ist wirklich sehr schön, sie bieten auch immer sehr schöne Veranstaltungen an auf jedenfall Besuchen. PROJECTS JAHRHUNDERTHALLE BOCHUM MAIN VENUE FOR THE RUHRTRIENNALE The former Gas Power Centre of the cast steel company „Bochumer Verein für Bergbau und Gußstahlfabrikation“, an industrial listed building from the year 1903, was reconstructed at the beginning of the millennium to a concert hall and extended by a large foyer and a cloakroom building. The historic construction could be sensitively toughened by means of continually cambered cables. The installation of a structural heating screed provided intelligent strengthening for the basement slabs. The new building construction of steel was abutted on an old external wall and suspended via the toughened cables on the existing construction. The extension of this protected, sophisticated structure with almost fully utilised components required an extremely cautious distribution of the additional forces in the old structure. DIETGER WEISCHEDE COMPANY FOUNDER Thanks to the ingenious structural framework planning, only a few parts of the old structure had to be strengthened. This resulted not only in a very economical solution, but also appealed especially because of the barely recognisable intrusion in the old, listed basic structure of the building. The Jahrhunderthalle Bochum is the main venue for the international cultural festival „Ruhrtriennale“ since the completion of the reconstruction in 2003 CLIENT LEG NORDRHEIN-WESTFALEN ARCHITECT PETZINKA PINK ARCHITEKTEN, DÜSSELDORF LOCATION BOCHUM, GERMANY COMPLETION 2003 AWARDS DEUTSCHER STAHLBAUPREIS 2004 - AUSZEICHNUNG BALTHASAR NEUMANNPREIS 2004 - ENGERE WAHL BDA AUSZEICHNUNG GUTER BAUTEN 2004

Inspiring re-purposing of a huge industrial relic for contemporary cultural use.

Super location. Staff was great.

Tolle Event Location!

We did the newest room, which still has several bugs in it. The atmospheric elements are excellent, but there is no searching for items or locks - everything involves codes and switches and the like. The operator gave us a 50% discount for the troubles with the room, and I understand that the other rooms are much better. "Tödliche Wolken" is currently only available in German, and requires a high level of language proficiency - after finishing the room, we realized that only one is us had really understood the plot that was lined out in the opening recording.

Great team time, learning how to work together in a different environment. Maurice was outstanding. Thank you for such a great experience.

This room was great. A good level of difficulty and the room was really unique. A lot of effort and care has been put into creating a theme and I really enjoyed the experience.

Top Location with very fun rooms. You can also buy sodas which I liked.

It's a lot of fun! The room and the games are super well built. Great activity to do with groups

Had a wonderful time at this escape room! Our host was wonderful.

Great experience, it's so much fun, and the staff is super lovely and helpful at all times, a super recommended experience

Nice place. They sure take care of the animals there. The reception staff speaks only German, but we found all of the information online. The toilets are very dirty. They are close to the birds' cages and really smell bad miles away.

It is really a nice place for a family to spend 2-3 fun hours. It is not an exciting zoo, but it is good for children between 3 to 7 and their parents to have a lovely day there. It has penguin, seal, and several cute and tiny animals that worth to see and take photos with them. Also, it has several tiny aquarium within its fossilium part which we like it

A mini but, in my opinion, perfectly designed Zoo. Well-kept vivariums and enclosures. The animals also show that they are given great care. They all look better than in many larger zoos. You will be able to walk around everything without rushing for an hour. You can also eat typical fast food inside. There are plenty of parking spaces nearby - free and paid. In my opinion, ticket prices are low and perfect in relation to the quality. I recommend.

For Monday 11:00 it was pretty full. 8 euros the ticket for adults. It's not really big, we needed about an hour to walk all of it. I think it's 3 km. Many cute animals to see and something to eat with good prices. We ate 2 bratwurst with bread and one waffel and we paid 9 euros. The only think i didn't like it's that the animals in water where not clean. And in the aquarium too.

Nice small Zoo with limited number of animals with small children playing area.

Inside is much bigger than it looks from the outside! Many different species from all over the world. It was a good to spend a day closer to nature. One note: there were about 20% of cages that were empty, or at least the animal was not inside. It would be better if such place were marked that the fish or animal is not inside

We had a lovely day here, we spent a lot of time outside with the animals. We seen the seals and penguins being fed, our only issue was we couldn't understand the show as it was only in German.. no English, otherwise it was a great day 😀

The starters are delicious. Service was good. The ribeye steak looks more like entercote was tender and melts in your mouth. The only major issue that ruined the whole experience is how salty was the sauce, you can get rid of the sauce because the steak was soaked in it. The desert was ok nothing special. The washroom was kitcheny!!

Good food in a nice ambience! The staff here speak English as well and were very courteous and friendly. The interior is tasteful but has a very relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a nice night out with family or friends. I ordered the tenderloin steak with a side of grilled vegetables and loved it. Husband ordered the wild salmon but found the sides to be too creamy for his liking. The chocolate mousse with almond brittle and passion fruit was a nice combination.

The mood of the resataurant is modern and very nice. Reasonable price with really nice steak. My favorite place to enjoy the dry aging steak! Other dishes are also good too.

I was with a group so was disappointed with a set menu offering vegan curry or veil schnitzel; both were so so. Some of the steaks being delivered to other tables looked nice. However the starters were nice particularly the prawn wrapped in stringy potato and garlic mayo, yummy..

Went for a spontaneous Friday night dinner and really enjoyed this place. The interior is a bit generic, but service was great and both wine and food were excellent!

It has been my best dinner in Bochum. My congratulations to the chef and to the staff in the dining room as well. Everything was great!

Delicious food, hearty lunch, location near the central station, fast service.

Super friendly service and tasty food, they might need a bit of time to serve deserts so make sure to order them 20 minutes in advance. Good portion for the price. We expected more from the pumpkin tartar but overall was tasty!

The restaurant Franz Ferdinand, in Bochum, must be listed in the top ten best restaurants in Bochum. The restaurant is a savory dish after another. For the appetizer, I highly recommend the fig and goat cheese salad, it’s beautifully presented and the taste is purely satisfying. My husband ordered the garlic shrimp salad and he seemed to enjoy it. They serve you their homemade bread and red beet spread. My husband ordered their Kaiserschnitzle served with slices of roasted and fried potatoes and a well dressed salad. I ordered the lamb Wienerschnitzel served with a creamy vinegar potato salad and a green salad. The appetizers and the main course were delicious, so we thought just order one dessert for both of us to share. The dessert also didn’t disappoint us, it was tasty but my husband and I were very full so we forcefully finished the dessert. One thing, I must say is that people are allowed to smoke outside and that’s very frustrating to be around when you want to enjoy a nice meal. It would be nice if they prohibited smoking outside as well.

A nice dinner in two. Food was tasty and plenty. Every sauce and veggies that accompanied the meat was carefully chosen. It was a great fit!

We had an amazing experience! The staff and their manager was so welcoming and friendly. Cozy place with a beautiful garden. Great food and wine selection. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Really nice experience! Got recomended of this place by the hotel and it was super! Really good food, nice employees and beautiful decor! It was well priced aswell🌟

Overhyped by a lot. Mostly, there are no decent restaurants in Bochum, so this is a hip place. In any larger city, they would die. Poor service, arrogant, really think they are something when they are mostly an average restaurant. The food is decent but not more. Attitude is mostly the problem. If you go to actual top places you will be disappointed. If you are a country pumpkin or dont usually dine in top-notch places, you will love it.

Today I had a superb vegan 3-course dinner here. Respect to the kitchen staff! €35,- including two drinks is very reasonable. The courses were well balanced, good size portions and really well prepared. Not just any kitchen can improvise a well balanced vegan dinner. Friendly and quick serving. I'm very happy I went here and I certainly will eat here again.

Food was okay, but wouldn't go back. It was also insanely warm inside (in August). Feels like they have no ventilation or cooling at all

I have been to Tucholsky a couple times and i always had a great experience with the food. This time, however, I must say I was disappointed. The lemon risotto was extremely acidy and boring. It was not enjoyable and I would not recommend it.

It's a nice place to eat and they have a lot of stuff with big portions. Though the food was way too heavy and I had a stomachache afterwards (I ordered Italian scrumbled eggs). One thing I definitely didn't like: the waiter brought us water without asking first and without telling that it would cost 7 euros... The coffee was charged more than it was on the menu. So... I think I'm not coming again despite a lot of good options.

Amazing service, great food, very pleasant atmosphere, an all-around enjoyable experience

Great breakfast. Loads of smiles from friendly faces working to make you feel welcome. I had a breakfast with no specific expectations, though they were exceeded. I recommend having a meal, any meal. If my breakfast was tasty, then it might just be that loads more on their menu is just as tasty.

One of my Favorite in Bochum. Excellent service too:)

Absolutely magnificent place. Plenty of different foods served, although the truth is I come here for the excellent craft beers and it’s probably the best place in town to enjoy them. Very friendly and professional staff, so that’s covered too, but did I mention the delicious craft beer? Especially nice because the interior is lovely as well and outside seating (even though a bit noisier) is equally as pleasant.

Location: centrally located, yet off the main street. Tucked away in the peace of a little alley. Service: Attentive, pleasant and knowledgable! I am still confused about the many varieties of beer. The young lady was able to give me a primer on the key features of each type so that I was able to reach a decision. Very professional and impressive! Vibe: the interior has a warm and cozy atmosphere. Tables of thick slabs of wood, large and medium groups of people chatting away. The house is full of history. The outdoor seats look over a T-crossing with some mild traffic that adds some animation to the scene rather than being disrupting (unless someone honks, but that didn’t happen often). Food: My salad was fresh and the portion was satisfying. Everything is served in proper tableware. Great for colleague groups, friend groups and couples. May not be the best space for young kids if I have to be honest.

We we hiking in the area and had dinner here. We had rietkoetter Pfanne und Käse Spätzle. It was was an amazing dinner. They served a small salad and bread with the food. The salad was great too. The service was outstanding. We enjoyed the atmosphere and had a nice time. We highly recommend eating here. They do have a great vegetarian pretty big menu too. The cheese of my Spätzle was fresh. Really really great. The portions are huge.

Really nice restaurant- nice seating outside, kid friendly and portion were extremely generous. We sat outside we our daughter and it was really lovely. Nice service as well

Great food - based on two visits, one of which with a big group and everyone was happy unsatisfied 😋

Amazing staff member who recommended us some drinks and also sold the food very well. Nice clean establishment with a welcoming atmosphere. Would recommend with big or small group

I tried Cauliflower Steak with hashbrown! Very delicious! Desserts have Pina Cota, Tiramusu and Creme Brule! All are good! Gulp it down with local Mortiz Fiege Hellis beer!

Food was ok-ish. Nothing spectacular, nothing special... And not worth the price. Pretty expensive. Also, the still water tasted weird.... Like if it had gas before... Pretty annoying The service was nice though :)

The chicken dumplings were so Good.it had 5 pieces. The rice roll was Nothing special. It had lot of mint leaves and little Chicken inside. The sauces were good for both dumplings and Chicken rolls.

Good food! Is in street where you have too many restaurants in downtown. Spring rolls were wrapped in thin rice sheet. It was okay. Without any spices. Souce along with spring roll was good though a bit more sweet than I like. Hot Vietamese tea was available. My colleagues took it and they seems to enjoy it! Too many options for drinks! They had Lassi on menu considering that's not Vietamese! I had Yellow curry with Tofu! Great taste. Service is decent! No Amex accepted.

Really good food! Very consistent quality of good food! I have been here 4-5 times and eaten different dishes and I’m pleasantly surprised everytime!

The food was really good and the restaurant looks fancy, but most importantly the staff was very professionnal and especially one of the waitress was very friendly and gave us good recommandations based on her experiences, that was great !

I had the noodle soup and it was quite salty. Crispy spring rolls were oily. Otherwise the service was great.

The best Vietnamese restaurant out of all Vietnamese restaurants I have ever been to. I know people specially come to eat here from different parts of NRW and Germany. -Great Vietnamese coffee -Good list of items on the menu. I always have hard time choosing a dish, because everything is so delicious and I want to try all of it -PhoBo (image attached) and Fried Bananas in Cocoa milk is a must try! -employees speak excellent English -Most importantly you can pay cashless here, which is quite rare in Germany, and in Bochum in particular!!

delicious vietnamese (my fav choice is Bun with vietnamese spring roll). Other dishes are delicious as well. Attentive and friendly service. May need to book the table for dinner as it's always full.

It was a great experience, we had a very pleasant evening. Although every dish was delicious, personally for me "Dorade Royal" with salsa Verde is unforgettable. Thank you, guys)!

I have tried to book a table here numerous times and was never successful. I now understand why. This is a very small, intimate restaurant that offers top quality food by friendly knowledgeable servers. It is expensive but the price is definately worth it. I would additionally recommend the wine pairing the selection is very well thought through and there wasn't a bad wine among them. It wouldn't have surprised me if this was a Michelin star restaurant. The best restaurant in bochum in my opinion.

My wife and I really enjoyed the food, however, we found the service quite slow. We had to wait until all other tables were finished until we received the next course. Not the best way to treat all guests.

Top!

(Translated by Google) For me, Restaurant Five is the best fine dining restaurant in Bochum. The food is at the star level. There are 2 menus, one of them vegetarian, which change every 2 months. Plus a wine or non-alcoholic accompaniment. The restaurant is run entirely by two people, you can look directly into the kitchen and see the preparation of the food. (Original) Das Restaurant Five ist für mich das beste Restaurant im Bereich Fine Dining in Bochum. Das Essen kratzt am Sterneniveau.

(Translated by Google) One of the best restaurants and certainly the best restaurant concept in the Ruhr area. As always, a fantastic event. A relaxed atmosphere with excellent food and produce. The five courses of both menus (vegetarian or non-vegetarian) can be swapped, which we gladly take advantage of. The 14-16 seats are always fully booked, the prices are reasonable, and the menus change regularly and are seasonal. We will be happy to return soon. Many thanks to the team for a successful evening. (Original) Eines der besten Restaurants und sicherlich das beste Restaurantkonzept im Ruhrgebiet. Wie immer ein tolles Event. Ungezwungene Atmosphäre mit hervorragenden Essen und Produkten.

Die 14-16 Plätze sind immer ausgebucht, die Preise angemessen, die Menüs wechseln regelmäßig und sind saisonal geprägt. Wir werden bald und gerne wieder kommen. Vielen Dank an das Team für den gelungenen Abend.

(Translated by Google) We were very lucky to have the opportunity to eat there. You could choose your menu in advance, and it was completely uncomplicated and clearly laid out. The food was outstanding. Each single course was a poem, and it just kept getting better. We were served many wonderful combinations. Our questions about the preparation and ingredients were happily answered. The concept of cooking and serving for a small number of guests worked very well. We would be happy to try your restaurant again. (Original) Wir haben mit viel Glück eine Gelegenheit bekommen dort zu essen. Im Vorfeld hatte man sein Menü auswählen können , völlig unkompliziert und übersichtlich gestaltet. Das Essen war hervorragend.. Jeder einzelne Gang war ein Gedicht und es wurde immer besser.

Das Konzept von kochen und servieren für wenige Gäste ist sehr gut gelungen. Gerne versuchen wir es noch einmal in Ihrem Lokal zu essen.

A Wonderful Restaurant in Bochum

We have been here on several occasions now - will go again and again!

Good friendly service, nice restaurant

Top

Very nice location !!

Cool.

One of the best restaurants in Bochum. The beautiful and inviting interior is perfect for dining or enjoying cozy bar drinks. The wine list offers a great selection, and the service is very friendly and professional. The food was excellent, with creative and flavorful vegetarian dishes that I highly recommend!

Good food and tasty beers. It was a bit crowded but the young wait staff was excellent.

Brilliant German “Hausmannskost” such a pork knuckle, veal and Swabian dumplings aka Maultaschen. Very impressive wine list and an enthusiastic sommelier!

Quality of the food is great. As is the service and the wine menu. Selection was quite strong on the hearty side. Not too many dessert options.

All in all a wonderful experience. German Hausmannskost with a decent modern twist. Loved the good old brown/grey bread appetizer in a paperbag. We were all very much satisfied with our meals!

Best place in the entire city for drinks. Best beer, best barkeepers and they’re honestly communicative as well. That’s what one wants in a bar. The interior is cozy and homely but at the same modern. Extraordinary selection of wines of the wine wall and the customer attention is superb. Lovely audience of locals, too. One never misses a proper chat evening. Can’t praise this place enough.

Excellent place for a great dinner. The food was very nice and we had a good time. The location is also good and there is ample seating for small groups of people.

Good food is a little expensive, but not unreasonable for the quality and quantity. We drank from their beer, which was nice and well presented. The menu wasn't in English, but we persevered with Google Translate, which did a great job of it. The number of versions of Schnitzel is enormous, and knowing the various collections of things you can have as accompaniments is long!

Nice place to eat and drink a beer. If you want you can try 3x0.1cl types of beers for 5 €.

Nice local place, I was there in the afternoon and only had a drink, but the food looked good, seemed to be locals mostly had a relaxed atmosphere

The server proceeded to go far beyond to help to make our food special. Can't fail with the nice food here and the prices are fair. Nice place, was seatted to our table quickly. My buddy and I really enjoyed the wide range of desserts and will be coming once again for a special treat. We surely appreciated our food here and would recommend it.

I didn't mind it. However, the service was a bit slow on a night where there weren't that many people. The waiter also unfortunately forgot parts of our order. Could just be the one waiter though. Food was good and basic, beer was cold, a little pricey though.

Great food! They specialise in schnitzel and it is truly wonderful

Good location, tables next to the water. Good beer but not a great range. I believe they dont actually brew on property. Havnt tired the food.

Great food and great service. A lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere. The homemade bread is amazing, and they sell it as well. I love eating here when I'm visiting Bochum it's my most favourite restaurant 😋

We were looking for a place to eat in Bochum and we came across this restaurant. The service was great even stepping up and speaking English for my fiancé. The food was excellent and we had an overall great experience.

Amazing find. We went here on a whim for a late dinner, because that's one of the few restaurants in the area that are open late, and were surprised to find a really nice ambiance and spectacularly good Italian food. The menu offers a lot of variety, certainly a few levels above the standard, run-off-the-mill Italian fare you find in many other Italian restaurants around here. The service was a little bit slow, but otherwise very pleasant and attentive. We'll most definitely be coming back!

Incredibly good Italian cuisine, perfect place for dinner before the Starlight Express show! Extremely tasty dishes, with craft beers and wines from Italy. The friendly owner of Trattoria Momo came out and greeted us and our kids warmly. The food was so delicious. There were several selections of craft beer direct from Tuscany - and as a beer lover and brewer myself, these were a highlight of the meal. They expedited the dishes when the show time approached, and we made it on time. I couldn't be happier with Trattoria Momo!

Fantastic food and service. Some of the best Italian I’ve ever had. And Fabio showed us a good time:) Highly recommendable!!

Amazing food, great service and atmosphere. The owner is really personable and fun. Would definitely come back and highly recommend.

Really bad service More than one hour and waiting for drinks More than 1h30 for the starters

A relatively compact airport with an unusual layout insofar as the check in, security to gates process goes but very efficiently ran. When the boarder control queue got long for the non-EU passport holders they directed people to use the ‘EU only’ booths too. There is a good mix of places to eat and drink but mainly after security and the terminal itself was very contemporary with big windows overlooking the airside and lots of natural light. Duty free shop is fairly small but had a good selection.

One of the best Airports that I've been to, I've played Kicker with random people in Suits, Toilets are clean, from getting off the train till the gate can be done in under 70 minutes. Amazingly engineered signs, that can be followed without thinking much. Really good small airport, the following needs to be added however: - Water Dispencers - Smart Gates! Please activate them.

✈️ Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) – Honest Review 🏢 Overview Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) is one of Germany’s smaller international airports, situated about 15 km from both Cologne (Köln) and Bonn. It's a hub for low-cost carriers like Eurowings and Ryanair, making it a budget-friendly gateway to Europe. --- ✅ Pros 1. Efficient and Manageable Size The airport is compact, which means short walking distances between gates, check-in, and security. Security checks are generally faster than major hubs like Frankfurt or Munich. 2. Great for Budget Airlines A popular base for Eurowings, Ryanair, and Wizz Air. Plenty of low-cost flights to destinations across Europe like Italy, Spain, UK, Poland, and more. 3. Direct Train Connection Excellent rail connectivity from the terminal via the Köln/Bonn Flughafen Bahnhof (train station). You can reach Cologne central station in 15–20 minutes and Bonn in about 30 minutes. 4. Open 24/7 One of the few airports in Germany that operate 24/7, which is ideal for early or late flights. 5. Free Wi-Fi & Basic Amenities Offers free Wi-Fi, ATMs, currency exchange, baby care facilities, and a few duty-free shops. Small lounges available for frequent flyers and business-class travelers. --- ❌ Cons 1. Limited Food Options Few restaurants or cafes, especially late at night. Limited variety compared to larger international airports—expect basic fast food, bakery, and snacks. 2. Lack of Comfortable Seating Seating areas near gates can be cramped and uncomfortable, especially for longer layovers. Not ideal for sleeping overnight. 3. Not Ideal for Long-Haul Flights Primarily a short-haul airport. Limited intercontinental or long-haul routes. If you're connecting to Asia, the US, or Africa, you’ll still need to go through a major hub. 4. Old Facilities in Some Parts Terminal 2 feels dated, with fewer charging points or modern rest areas. Cleanliness can vary depending on time of day and airline traffic. --- 🌍 Good for Europe Travel? Absolutely. CGN is: Budget-friendly with lots of low-cost European routes. Well-located for exploring western Germany and Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg). Connected by train, so you can land and be in a major city like Cologne, Bonn, Düsseldorf, or even Brussels quickly. If you're a student, backpacker, or casual traveler looking to explore Europe affordably, Cologne Bonn is a great option. --- 🧳 Quick Tips Arrive 2 hours early—even though it’s small, morning and evening can get busy. Use the RE or S-Bahn to avoid expensive taxis. Bring snacks or food, especially if traveling at night. Great choice for weekend trips or budget getaways.

They say Germans are the most precise people, but Cologne airport proves the exact opposite. The worst travel experience I have ever had anywhere in the world. Not only is it nearly impossible to fly from Berlin to Vienna, but if you have a layover in Cologne, they’ve set it up so that you have to run around the entire airport, go through security all over again, and throw away even that overpriced €4 bottle of water from Berlin airport. Except for a few decent people at security, it was total ignorance, shrugs and laughter right in your face. I only made my flight because some kind people let me skip ahead in the line.

If you haven’t walked today don’t worry this airport will make you walk, and this wlll be llooooooonnnnngggggggg So bring some patients Especially at the first police control you will need to wait up to 20 min maybe also longer Duty free shops are everywhere but a simple water 3.50Eurosssssss

Well, honestly, I had a good travel experience through Bonn Cologne airport. First of all, we booked our parking spot online ahead of time, and everything went smoothly. The check-in desk staff were very professional and precise. The passport check went out smoothly as well. On my way back to Germany, the officer informed us that the residents of Germany could pass through the smart gates using the residency permit card, which helped me get past the long queue of passport check.

Cologne Bonn Airport promotes itself as environmentally friendly, but the reality is the opposite. There is no option to return deposit bottles and get your money back. The only bins available before the security check are labeled as “donation boxes.” Passengers are practically forced to donate their bottles instead of reclaiming their deposit. This system is unfair and hypocritical. The airport hides behind so-called “eco” slogans while keeping the unclaimed deposits. Real environmental responsibility means giving passengers the option to recycle and get their money back, not forcing them to donate under the illusion of doing something good. The so-called “Duty Free” in this airport is another illusion. Within the European Union there are no customs borders or real tax exemptions, so a genuine duty free cannot exist. Nevertheless, products are sold at inflated prices as if they were tax-free, even though this advantage only applies outside the EU. Many items are more expensive than in regular stores or online. It is a marketing trick designed to mislead passengers under the image of a modern and international airport. Overall, this airport focuses more on profit and image than on honesty. Shiny stores, fake environmental care, fake duty free, and zero transparency. A place that looks modern on the outside but treats passengers as if they were naive. A disappointment for anyone who values fairness and respect for travelers!

Well structured and purpose-driven airport for short and mid-to-long range flights. I have had the possibility to easily go through security with no wait time and the gates information are clear enough for frequent fliers. Food shops could improve in price/quality combination but overall positive feedback!

The Duesseldorf airport was easy to access, whether by bus or train, which made the journey very convenient. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout. The airport itself is medium-sized, not too big to get lost in, but not too small either. It had everything I needed without being overwhelming. Overall, a smooth and pleasant experience.

Düsseldorf airport is actually pretty well structured. Security was smooth and quick, barely any waiting time, which was a relief. What could be better though – the prices in the shops felt a bit much. I know it’s common in airports, but still, could be more reasonable. And the main issue for me was the chaos at the departure area. People were just stopping anywhere, no clear flow or control – that part definitely needs improvement.

Not sure how this airport intends to compete or even attract more travelers.. upon arrival the baggage takes hours, it’s as if if this big A380 arrived unexpectedly on time! And then upon leaving the lines for security expand all the way to the check in counters. This has been happening several times.. Düsseldorf get your act together you do represent the country…I still like how compact this airport is though

The airport is fairly new but not a huge hub like Frankfurt. Layout is modern and spacious. It's fairly clean though less towards the railway station. I was annoyed as I had to use stairs twice to go to the restroom while other airports have it on the same level. The coffee and food option at arrival is minimal and underwhelming. Staff is trying and it's just about enough for a breakfast bite but nothing more.

I recently spent time at Düsseldorf Airport and had such a smooth travel experience that I’d fully recommend it to anyone flying through. From the moment I arrived, everything felt intuitive and well-organized. Navigation between Terminals A, B, and C is seamless: signs are clear, walkways are direct, and even crossing between terminals is simple thanks to elevated corridors. Once through security, it’s easy to move between gates without confusion. Security and check-in moved fast. Despite moderate traffic, lines rarely felt long and staff generally operated efficiently. Afterward, there’s no shortage of food and shopping: from kiosks and cafés to duty‑free stores and even a small supermarket in the arrivals level—plenty of variety to suit business or leisure needs. The design is modern and clean. Seating areas are well spaced, charging stations are readily available, and free Wi‑Fi works reliably throughout. As a bonus for plane enthusiasts, there’s a visitor terrace where you can watch landings and takeoffs—simple yet enjoyable, with great views across the apron. Lounges add real value if you have the opportunity to access them. I spent time in the Open Sky Lounge in Pier C—it’s bright, calm, and recently refreshed. There’s a decent buffet, complimentary drinks, quiet zones, and showers if you want to freshen up before boarding. For travelers in Pier B, the Hugo Junkers Lounge delivers solid food offerings and an apron-facing ventilation-filled interior. Transport connections are a highlight. There are two rail stations: the S‑bahn at the terminal for regional connections and the main station a short ride away via the SkyTrain offering intercity and ICE trains. The SkyTrain is automatic and fast—handy if you’re heading into Düsseldorf or onward in Germany. Taxi and rideshare pickup zones are next to the terminal exit; just be mindful that airport-to-city-center fares can sometimes feel higher than expected if unpaid extra charges pop up—using an app‑based service helps avoid that. Overall, Düsseldorf Airport feels efficient, modern, and thoughtful. It recently won “Best Regional Airport in Europe” at the Skytrax World Airport Awards—a well-deserved recognition in my opinion. My experience felt stress-free from bag drop to boarding, with helpful staff, good amenities, reliable Wi‑Fi, and easy transfer options. If you need a regional hub in Europe that runs like clockwork and offers both functional and comfortable services, Düsseldorf Airport delivers.

A modern airport with easy access to the city. The SkyTrain monorail connects the terminals to the main train station quickly. The station is clean but bathrooms can get busy sometimes. Overall, a convenient airport for travel in the region.

This is the worst airport you could imagine. And the main reason isn’t that it’s small, but that the staff simply don’t care about optimizing the number of flights, their timing, speed, or the workload of the security check lines. There are plenty of opportunities for optimization, but they clearly don’t care. 1. Spread flights out over time so there aren’t 2–3 departures every 10 minutes? No. 2. Optimize staff performance? Why bother. 3. Add more security check lines? Nobody needs that. Horrible. If you need to fly from here, make sure to arrive at least 4 hours before departure, because 3 hours might not be enough — and that’s without checked baggage. If you trust Wizz Air’s recommended arrival time, you’ll most likely miss your flight. Just take a look at the time they suggest. Speechless.

The worst airport I have ever been to. There’s nowhere to sit and nowhere to stay in the departure terminal. I wonder who gave this “airport” a certificate for international flights

This is not an airport, this is an absolute disgrace. The most rude, asinine staff I ever seen working at an airport, hostile attitude, zero English, unprofessional to say the least. They will start touching you without notice and speaking exclusively German, I repeatedly said I don’t speak German and they just started shouting (in German, ofc!). And unfortunately, that’s not all. The dirtiest toilet I ever experienced at an airport, with smell of urine that reaches the gates area even. The layout is terrible, no seats available (prepare to stand for a long time, even hours) and obviously inadequate for people with disabilities, this place is stuck in ‘60s perhaps. I decided to travel from here as it was 100 euro cheaper than traveling from elsewhere, next time I won’t bother and I will happily spend more rather than transit again in this disgrace of a place.

The staff are genuinely polite and helpful, but the airport itself is surprisingly small — and not just in size. There are hardly enough tables to sit at, and some tables don’t even have chairs nearby. It would make a huge difference if there were at least one proper place to sit down and have a meal. I’ve been to many airports in Germany, but this one still manages to surprise me — and not in a good way.

It’s a joke, not a real Airport. You reaaaaaly should be here 3 hours before your gates, because u cant pass safety in any shorter time. It’s small and surely takes more wizzair flights than it can proces, so - money for the Company, loads of problems for any passenger

For a small airport this one is super slow and the staff is not friendly. They wont allow priority to passengers who are late, and on the screen they are not showing boarding status so you miss your flight. One star 👎

Absolutely the worst airport I've ever been to. And I'm not even talking about the lack of seats or slow checks. Or dirty toilets. Or the staff that doesn't speak English AT THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT 🙃 But the fact that everyone who works here is incredibly rude - from the woman letting you enter the security checks to the one working in Duty free. But the last drop was the woman at the security checks who suddenly without saying anything, started lifting my sweater and touching me under it where I had my t-shirt. I said I didn't understand what she quietly said in German but she didn't care and just continued touching me, and made me feel so so uncomfortable. Meanwhile another security check guy started doing the same to my husband, also ignoring him asking speaking English, until he literally put his hand in his jeans?? I wish there was an administration or anyone I could complain about it when this happened, I would gladly report these employees. This is not normal. I've never seen anything like this.
