Things to do in Bochum
Bochum has a lot to offer! On the outskirts of the FTME, you have the opportunity to discover the heart of the Ruhr region. We have therefore put together a few leisure tips. All tips are intended as private activities on a self-pay basis. If you are interested, we will be happy to put you in touch with other FTME participants so that you can do something as a group. Simply send a short email to Pia.M.Braun@rub.de. Most activities are close to Bochum city center or can be reached quickly from there. Our tips do not constitute paid advertising.
