Münster

Munster sits within western Germany, not far from the Dutch border. It's well known for its attraction-packed Altstadt, which was restored back to its medieval glory after WW2. Here you'll find Munster's must-sees, including the honey-hued 13th-century St Paulus Dom cathedral, the Pablo Picasso Art Museum, and Prinzipalmarkt square.

This is the old town's cobbled heart, flanked by characterful gabled abodes, the Gothic town hall, and cafes ripe for people watching. While there's stacks of history about, Munster is anything but old and tired – the dining scene, nightlife, and culture is kept fresh by the city's energetic student population.
