Muenster’s historical old-town is a lively centre in which history and modern life intertwine. The “Prinzipalmarkt” with the “Lambertikirche” (St Lamberts Church) and the “Rathaus des westfälischen Friedens” (Town Hall of the Treaty of Westphalia) are just some of the historical landmarks of the city. These magnificent historical buildings are interspersed with modern architecture and contemporary works of sculptured art. It is also where you will find a unique selection of museums and exciting events.

At the same time, the old-town is a shopping-mile; many top-class shops and boutiques can be found here, especially around the “Prinzipalmarkt”. The “Muenster Arkaden“ – a new shopping arcade in the heart of the city, connecting the shopping streets “Ludgeristrasse” and “Rothenburg”, is also in close proximity to the historical “Prinzipalmarkt”.

Apart from various cultural facilities, the “Kreativkai”, located in the harbour area, is home to hip-clubs, scene-restaurants & cafes, and has become an exciting and diverse cultural area. Many designers, photographers and event agencies are based here. In the antique houses you will discover the Wolfgang Borchert Theatre, the Municipal Exhibition Hall for Contemporary Art and many other art galleries and cultural institutions.

The “Kuhviertel” is located on the fringe of the old-town. Here you will discover diverse pubs and restaurants side-by-side. There is something for everyone in the “Kuhviertel“; ranging from traditional Westphalia cuisine to hip-pubs and local cafes & bars for the “young scene”. It’s the perfect mixture of Westphalia lifestyle and young attitude.

The “Kuhviertel” is easily accessed and is in walking distance from the historical old-town.
