In the heart of Ruhr, leisure activities of any kind are within easy reach. Nature, sightseeing, nightlife, shopping, art and culture, as well as numerous events – there is a lot to explore around the Ruhr metropolis.
Getting started:
Bermudadreieck
The legendary bar district Bermudadreieck is lined with pubs, bars and clubs.
Stadt Bochum
"Off Campus" - Student Life in Bochum
The feel-good factor for students is high in Bochum, as the city has a lot to offer: a huge selection of arts and cultural events in all imaginable facets – from renowned to alternative.
Individuality and Charme
The unique “Ruhrpott” charm is particularly striking at former industrial premises that have been transformed into cultural sites to celebrate the past and the future of Ruhr. Situated in Westpark, Jahrhunderthalle is one of the best examples of successful transition in Bochum – a venue that annually hosts Ruhrtriennale, the Ruhr metropolis’ arts festival, and Extraschicht, the night of industrial culture.
Pub scene
Vibrant night life and a thriving pub culture prove that Bochum is a dyed-in-the-wool student town with a long tradition. Students love to hang out in the legendary pub district Bermudadreieck. But there are many cafés, bars and pubs to discover off the beaten track.
