Because of its long history, Munster is home to a number of historic buildings and sites. Most visitors who fly to Munster make a point of seeing at least a few of these places. Built in the 13th century, the Romanesque-style Saint Paul’s Cathedral is home to an astronomical clock. The clock, which displays the movements of the planets, was built in the 16th century. Other popular attractions include the Munster Botanical Garden, founded in 1803; the Westphalian Museum for Natural History; and the historic city center and shopping area, Prinzipalmarkt, which is home to several shops, restaurants, and cafes.

For tourists looking to step back in time, the Freilichtmuseum Mȕhlenhof (open-air museum) shows a more agrarian lens of Germany in the 1800s. This museum, located near Lake Aasee, features over 30 historical buildings, from a post mill to a historical classroom setting in a close assemblage of a historic German village. Visitors can learn about classic craft life, and during the Christmas season, a special market is set up that brings traditional favorites to the forefront.

Nearby Lake Aasee is a great outdoor location for relaxation. Visitors can rent boats, view some of the animals located on-site, and see why this lake was voted one of the most beautiful parks in all of Europe.

For history buffs who fly into Munster, the historic city hall is the location where the “Peace of Westphalia” was signed, bringing an end to the Thirty Years’ War.
