we arrived a day earlier so we did a bit of sightseeing ourself and with a bit of tips from sandra and the tourist info.
so we arrived on saturday 22 november about 11 in the morning at our hotel. after we brought our things to the room we went to the centre.
there was a weihnachtenmarkt (christmasmarket) with 260 stands.
we also have been to der Essener Dom, Alte Synagoge, shops and the christmasmarket.
on sunday we had the VT meeting starting at cafe Solo than by U bahn to Zollverein, some drinks back to the centre for a bit of the christmasmarket and after this to cafe de prins for some frites.
