The bicycle, also named "Leeze", is the most commonly used means of transport in Münster. A daily total of more than 100,000 people are on the road by bike, and there are twice as many bicycles as residents, namely 500,000. Those who want to experience the true Münster feeling should therefore get on the bike.
Münster is Germanys bicycle capital. Hardly any other city is furnished with such a well developed network of bicycle tracks and so many offers all around the bike. The car-free ring around the city centre is unparalleled in Europe. Here, on the promenade, bicyclists are given the green light.
There are as many as two bicycle stations in Münster that allow for the bikes to be parked securely. With its 3,500 parking places, the bicycle station at the main station is the largest one in Germany, offering a repair service, a bike rental, and even a bicycle washing plant alongside with the parking places! It comes as no surprise that Münster was awarded the title of "most bicycle-friendly city in Germany" several times already.
Whoever wishes to get to know Münster by bicycle is provided important tips and information here - from a list of the bike rental stations to detailed sightseeing tours. You can even do a bicycle tour along the bicycle highlights of Münster.
