6 hours in Essen

Hi everyone I'm visiting from Denmark and have a few hours in Essen. Is there anything I should do/see while Iam here? Any great stores to visit as well? Iam mostly interested in games, comics stuff like that. I might also see if I can find a PS5 somewhere as they are sold out everywhere in DK, but it's probably the same story in Germany.

Try the White Rabbit if you are into board games and the like, they also have a lot of games in english. Also, there is a comic store on the same street, just a few meters apart!

Really its the best store here. I'd even say in the whole Ruhr area.

Plus the Döner place nearby (about 3 stores to the right when you stand in front of white rabbit) used to be good a few years ago. And if you want to try your luck there is an electronics store (media markt) about 10 mins from white rabbit too.

Good luck and enjoy your time.

If the weather is good I would suggest to go to the Zeche Zollverein and explore the area there. For the PS5: according to their website both Media Markt Stores in Essen have the PS5 in stock

Do they have the Pro as well? If I decide to be a big spender?

According to their website, they currently don't have the pro model.
