With a typical Gothic façade, Muenster's town hall is a mid-14th century edifice. The characteristic gable was rebuilt true to the original in the 1950s. In 2015, it was awarded the European Heritage Label as the "Site of the Peace of Westphalia", which seems to be such a well fitting name for a place like Muenster, mainly a University and residential city where the number of bicycles exceed the number of people and where the old town is beautifully surrounded by a park.

Been to a lot of churches and monasteries across Europe and this one is well worth a look. Despite the external renovations inside is immaculate and very inspired. The astronomical clock is outstanding and the structure itself very imposing. My only criticism was the beggars at the door....!!

The market is pretty large and offers a wide variety of quality products. Also there’s plenty of places to find (and eat) delicious snacks or meals.

A fantastic historical church. The iron cages up the church tower are spooky - but the history behind it is fascinating.

Nice little botanical garden. Well worth seeing, particularly if you're near the Schloss. You can stroll in the gardens and see exotic plants (some animals, too) in the green houses.

When we visited the church was open into the lobby, the rest of the church was fenced off with huge metal bars. But, from here it is possible to see a lot of the inside and how superbly it has been decorated. It only takes a few minutes to see, and boy it is so worth while, it's absolutely stunning.
