Münster, located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, was one of the most powerful members of the Hanseatic League; its former glory still shines in its (mostly reconstructed) medieval buildings, among them the Town Hall and St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Münster is famous as the city of bicyclists; it has a good grid of bicycle lanes and a “bicycle park” close to the main station’s car park. A modern landmark is the city library, designed by Bolles, Wilson & Partner in the shape of a ship and opened in 1993; the city of Münster is also something of an open-air sculpture museum, since the city regularly buys pieces exhibited during the exhibition Skulptur.Projekte, taking place every 10 years.
