Car rental Essen in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

Car Rental Essen – Must Know

Three autobahns touch Essen territory, most importantly the Ruhrschnellweg, which runs directly through the city, dividing it roughly in half. As you know usually there aren’t any speed limits on the autobahns. Even more, you aren’t allowed to move slower than 60km/h. The completely opposite situation is on city roads. The maximum speed there is 50km/h and 30km/h at the special safety zones.

Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex

The Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex is a huge former industrial site that was included into the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.

You will learn many new interesting things and will take awesome photos here.

Old Synagogue

Essen’s Alte Synagoge, or Old Synagogue, is one of Germany’s most notable monuments to Jewish culture left in the country. It is located in the center of the city on Steeler Straße 29, close to the present city hall. So you can easily get there by your car rental vehicle. This place will be interesting for those who want to learn more about Jewish culture and religion, past and present.

Daytona Kartbhn

You can leave your car rental vehicle for a while and get into smaller one – the small, open four-wheeled crazy vehicle – the kart. The Daytona Kartbahn is the big karting track that offers visitors an excellent service. There are two tracks and one neat bistro in the Daytona Kartbhn. It’s the excellent way of time spending for people that are interested in speed and want to feel the adrenaline.

It isn’t very useful for the tourists from abroad.
