City guide
Bochum
Bochum is a Ruhr university city built on coal mining, now centred on theatre and post-industrial culture rather than tourist sights. The German Mining Museum, one of the world's largest, anchors its industrial history, while Bermuda3Eck and the long-running Starlight Express musical carry its nightlife reputation.
