Stay there

Siegen

When you’re in Siegen, why don’t you stay and take a look at the city and its surroundings? Siegen is known for its forests and mountains with several hiking trails such as the Rothaarsteig. In Ruben’s birthplace, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MGK) is well worth a visit. You can explore the historic old town with a guided night watchman tour (booking required) in the evening and visit the upper Castle (Oberes Schloss) with its Siegerland museum after a stroll around the weekly market under the Krönchen (Nikolaikirche) on the market square on Wednesday (11 am – 5 pm) or Saturday (7 am – 1 pm) and round off the day with a cool drink on the edge of the Siegufer or the market square in the evening.
