Bochum

Bochum is located in the heart of the Ruhr area and is perfect for a varied convertible tour in North Rhine-Westphalia. The city uniquely combines industrial heritage, modern urban development, and surprisingly green landscapes. Those driving with the top down can experience both history and the present here – on relaxed routes between landmarks, parks, and urban squares.

Driving a Convertible on the Route of Industrial Heritage

Bochum is a central hub on the Route of Industrial Heritage. Notable highlights include the German Mining Museum, whose distinctive headframe is visible from afar. Another highlight is the Jahrhunderthalle in Westpark – an impressive industrial monument now used for events, culture, and tours. The approach to these sites is pleasant for convertible drivers, as many side roads pass through green residential areas and historic workers' settlements, which have been lovingly renovated today.

A particularly beautiful route runs along the Springorum Cycle Path, which is also accompanied by quiet streets. Those who prefer a more urban vibe can cruise through the city center and enjoy the mix of urban life, culture, and history.

Between Museum, Music, and Green Ruhr Idyl

Bochum is not only industrially shaped but also culturally active. The city is home to the renowned Schauspielhaus, the planetarium, and the musical theater featuring the well-known piece "Starlight Express." Bochum also offers plenty of opportunities for a break – such as at Kemnader See, which stretches south of the city and provides a pleasant atmosphere for convertible drivers with its waterfront streets and cafés.

Along the Ruhr, you'll find many smaller roads with light traffic that lead through fields, forests, and small towns – ideal for a relaxed drive away from the urban hustle.
