Sightseeing in Munster - what to see. Complete travel guide

1. The most popular means of transport among local people is a bicycle. Travelers also have a chance to rent a bicycle in one of the numerous rental centers. The most profitable rates and rental terms are offered in Canu Camp and Radstation Münster Hundt KG rental centers. Tourists should better get a city map with marked cycling routes in one of the tourist information offices.
2. The most popular means of public transport is still a bus. The buses cruise the streets of the city day and night. However at night (after 23. 00) the buses run in rather long intervals thus one should not plan distant trips in the evening.
3. Taxi service is available day and night. A taxi car is recommended to be taken from special taxi parking lots located in close vicinity to hotels and restaurants.
4. Muenster is considered to be a rather rainy city as rains are rather frequent there regardless of the season of the year. However the rains are rather short that is why the weather will not disrupt city exploration or interrupt the vacation of tourists in any way. Setting off to a walking tour one should take an umbrella and for a cycling tour one will need a waterproof overcoat.
5. The most popular boutiques and shopping centers are located in the Prinzipalmarkt street. This is the final destination for those hunting some memorable gifts and souvenirs. Shop-a-holics are recommended to visit Muenster during the Christmas fests as during this period the shops and stores of the city present scale sales. The city also invites its guests to visit numerous festive open markets. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
6. The city offers a great variety of attractive restaurants and pubs. Prudent tourists should give preference to the remote from the city center eating establishments as in this case one will find the most attractive pricing.
7. Choosing a restaurant, tourists should keep tracking of the eating preferences of local people. If an eating house is avoided by local folks then the restaurant has gained bad repute or features rather high price tags. Tips are a must in all gastronomy establishments of the city. The amount of tips depends on the level of the establishment and lies within 5 to 15% of the total sum of the bill.
