About Hamm
A small city set between Münster and Dortmund, Hamm sits on the eastern edge of the Ruhr industrial region. Close to both the Lippe and Ahse Rivers, it was a wealthy Hanseatic League hub, and later a key centre in the 19th century industrial revolution. Now popular with business travellers as well as holidaymakers, the city is home to a number of attractive accommodation options. Our Gurus’ selection of the best places to stay in Hamm fuse contemporary comforts with classic charm, offering a warm welcome to guests of all ages.
Extensively rebuilt following the Second World War, Hamm’s city centre is well worth exploring. Step into the medieval St Paul’s Church or the 16th century St Agnes Church, and admire the contrasting Land Supreme Court, a towering edifice built in 1959. The Railway Museum details the city’s past as the site of a key junction, whilst the Gustav-Lübcke Museum boasts an impressive art collection.
Strolls through Maximilian Park - home to a striking giant glass elephant - will delight the whole family. Venture further afield to follow mountain biking, trekking and horse riding trails through verdant forests and the foothills of the Westerwald Mountains. Keen hikers can clamber to the peak of Stegskopf, whilst heritage aficionados will be fascinated by the ancient Westerburg Castle. Return to one of the best places to stay in Hamm for lazy afternoons in landscaped gardens and feasts of regional specialities.
