Where to stay in Grumme
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The museums decide it. Grumme keeps the German Mining Museum, the Kunstmuseum Bochum and the Tierpark und Fossilium Bochum within one quarter, so a bed north of the city centre puts a full day of walking inside the district. Parks and avenues run between them, and the Ruhrstadion is the largest stadium in Bochum.
A tram line crosses the quarter on its way from Gerthe to Hattingen, which is how many arrivals reach the Stadtpark and the museums.
