Münster: Old Town Highlights Guided Tour

Münster: Old Town Highlights Guided Tour

During our guided tour of the old town of Münster, you will learn at St. Paul's Cathedral how the small Saxon settlement of Mimigernaford became the city of Münster, what the cathedral immunity was all about and how the earlier disputes between merchants and clergy still affect the cityscape today. Hear how the rule of the Anabaptists in the 16th century led, among other things, to the tower of the Überwasserkirche standing there without a point to this day and some of the saints there remaining headless. The cages symbolizing the end of the Anabaptist movement can still be seen on the tower of the market church of St. Lambertus, where the tower keeper worked. You can get to know the history of the Westphalian peace negotiations at the historic town hall, which, as the place where the peace was signed between the Dutch and the Spaniards in the Peace Hall, is today a symbol of the Peace of Westphalia, which put an end to the horrors of the Thirty Years' War in 1648. In addition, with the Erbdrostenhof and the Clemenskirche, you will find two exemplary buildings by the Baroque master builder Johann Conrad Schlaun, whose style is still characteristic of the face of the city today.

The young guide Ayman took us around to tapas bars around the old city and where we stlpped we tasted their speciality. We also got a small history lesson both at the tapas bars and during the walk. Ayman was fun, polite and easy going. If you have a few hours and want to get an overview of the old town and have som snacks and drinks while doing så, this is a perfekt tour. I would recommend that you have this tour early on your stay and pay attention. That will give you some ideas what to do on your own.

The selection of food was great and we stopped at different places which we may not otherwise have been to. Aymen was really friendly and happy to answer all of our questions.

The tour guy, Aymen, was very knowledgeable, not only did we try different tapas typical from the region but we also discussed about history and evolution of Malaga.

It was so nice. A nice person offers you an exclusive little city tour and you even get beer. What more could you want?

Very entertaining, interesting and with a touch of humor. Definitely recommended!!!
