Amazing historical site. Great tour guide (middle-aged woman, backpack, can't remember name). Highly recommend.
Some staff members in top museum were a bit rude. Go to the roof top - beautiful 360 view.

Well maintained, nice tour. Nice place to spend a sunny afternoon. Most of it you can visit for free. Tour is a bit rushed now, because they have to cram 2 hours into 1, but still worth it.

Definitely the most uninteresting, uninviting, and least worthwhile of any UNESCO site I have ever seen. The museum is not even about the coal industry, but about history of the Ruhr Valley. The tour is only given in German once per hour. It is, however, the number one tourist attraction in Essen, which tells you a lot about Essen.

Wonderful heritage site. Our favorite was the Red Dot Museum where you can explore and see beautiful designed appliances. The Casino is a nice place to get a drink.

Discover industrial history in a place that stands for superlatives like no other: Get to know what was once the largest and most powerful hard coal mine in the world and the largest central coking plant in Europe.

Quite the visit, you can feel how hard it must have been in the past and it's interesting to grasp a part of this historical place.
Couldn't visit the mine itself unfortunately
