If you stop by, don't miss Inselbad Bahia Water Park, Bocholter Stadtwald and City Museum Bocholt.
Where are the best beaches near Bochum?

What kind of rental car should I get for Bochum?

These vehicles boast high-end finishes, lavish interiors, and a whole host of extras. Traveling on a budget and need to save some cash? A compact car or a mini will suit your needs. These smaller vehicles are inexpensive to run and a dream when it comes to getting around those busier city streets. If you've got the young ones (and tons of luggage) in tow, a full-size car will give you all the space and room you need.
Should I get a luxury rental car in Bochum?
