Messe Essen hosts the Spiel fair (the world's largest board game fair with over 200,000 visitors), IPM Essen (horticulture) and E-world energy & water. Exhibitor and visitor shuttles from the Ruhr area and across Germany plus hotel logistics are part of regular daily business.
Baldeneysee & Werden Abbey Town
Lake Baldeneysee in southern Essen offers Weiße Flotte boat trips, a lido and a lakeside promenade – a popular excursion destination. Combined with Werden Abbey town and Schloss Hugenpoet, a versatile day programme emerges for club, corporate and family outings by coach from across the Ruhr area.
