The Holiday Inn Express Bochum is located right in the buzzing city center of Bochum, North-Rhine Westphalia. Stepping out of the hotel, you will find yourself in the middle of the big shopping district. A subway station is located 350 meters from the hotel, it is only a 10-minute walk to Bochum central station and the freeway A40 which connects you to all major cities of the Metropolitan Region Ruhrgebiet is a 2,5 km drive away. With Dortmund (32km) and Düsseldorf International (42km) you’ll have easy access to two major airports. Once an industrial city Bochum has moved from coal mines and steel industry to the service sector. The Ruhr University Bochum is one of the largest universities in Germany, many science meetings and events take place at either Ruhrcongress or Jahrhunderthalle. You can still feel what it was like digging for coal by visiting the “Deutsches Bergbau-Museum” and descent down to the visitor coal mine. Don’t miss the next show of “Starlight Express” - the musical by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. And after an exciting day, turn into the “Bermuda3eck” - the famous Entertainment district where you can find anything from Street Food to Fine Dining, from Movie Theaters to art and Karaoke pubs. When it’s finally time to wind down, enjoy what the Holiday Inn Express Bochum has to offer - free Wi-Fi, air-conditioned rooms, our 24/7 Express Café & Bar and in the morning start your day right with our included Express Breakfast.
