Where to stay in Grumme
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
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.
