from ESPNs guide to Germany for the Worldcup:

RUHR AREA
Hard to think of any sights in the industrial area of Gelsenkirchen and Dortmund. Nearby Oberhausen has a well-known shopping mall called Centro. Also, you could endeavour the 60-minute trip to the university city of Muenster, which in October 2004 was voted the most livable community of the world (ahead of Coventry (UK) and Seattle). Why? It's charming, lively, modern as well as ancient and romantic. A little bit of everything. Go figure out yourself.

well not to forget that charming little city called wuppertal...
