Bochum, a city in the Ruhr in North Rhine-Westphalia, has an adult scene centered around FKK clubs and nightclubs, with the addition of some swinger clubs. In Germany, prostitution is legal and regulated, and the heart of the city scene is the red-light district of Im Winkel, a maze of alleys with venues at both ends of the street and affordable prices. FKK sauna clubs combine sauna, jacuzzi, and companionship, while nightclubs offer more than just a show, with private rooms. Many workers come from Southeast Europe. It is a well-connected city with the U-Bahn, S-Bahn, and tram network of the Ruhr.
