General presentation
Münster
Bicycle city, university and historical, with squares, church, urban lake and Westphalia atmosphere.
The discovery of Münster revolves around Prinzipalmarkt, St.Paul's Cathedral of Münster and Aasee. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage and shores and lakes, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

For a stay of 1 to 3 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: wet weather and urban stay. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Prinzipalmarkt
The Prinzipalmarkt is the most characteristic street in Münster, with its arcades, gables and aligned shops. The promenade immediately sets the tone of the city: careful, cycling, heritage, but still very inhabited and oriented towards daily life.
Heritage
Saint Paul Cathedral of Münster
Saint Paul's Cathedral Münster The interior, cloister, and astronomical clock provide several levels of reading, between spirituality, architecture and scholarly details to be observed without haste.
Place
Aasee
The Aasee gives Münster a breath at the edge of the water, a few steps from the ancient center. The banks welcome walkers, bikes, sailboats and discreet terraces; the place works especially well in the late afternoon, when the light slides on the lake and the city slows down.
Place
LWL-Museum
The LWL-Museum brings art and culture together in a clear path, in the heart of Münster. It is suitable for travellers who want to add a quality interior stage, with works ranging from the Middle Ages to the contemporary era and a pleasant building to travel through.
