There are some really great things about Germany and Münster is one of them.
Here you are more likely to be run over by a bicycle than a car as pedals are in power. And that isn't particularly probable either as everyone let's you cross or pass without a problem.
I've struggled to work out German road rules after being shouted at by a driver who wanted to pull out from the right near Goslar. There weren't any road markings saying I should give way and he was clearly turning into my road. I understand that on Berlin's system of crossroads it is like a roundabout with priority going to the right.
Münster, in contract, doesn't seem to need road rules. Everyone is too courteous.
It is also a nice city to walk around, at least in the old town. There are 4 main churches, the most impressive of which is the Lambertikirche. It looks a bit like a mini Sagrada Familia with its elaborate tower.
Then there is the castle, which is now part of the university. I doubt it would have offered much defence, but it is a beautiful building. A wee bit more attractive than Owen's Park. Behind it is a nice botanical garden, which was definitely worth visiting despite the rain.
The other great feature is the promenade, a path for cyclists and pedestrians that runs right round the old town.
