WELCOME THE MOST
LIVABLE CITY IN THE WORLD
Münster is a thriving university town with a rich cultural program. The “jewel of Westphalia” is the perfect blend of opposites: surrounded by nature, yet just a stone’s throw away from Dortmund, Hamburg and Amsterdam. How about a bicycle tour across meadows and fields and then club hopping until six in the morning, followed by a Saturday morning espresso at the farmer’s market in front of Münster’s Cathedral? Welcome to the most livable city in the world.
