Münster Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
Overview
Münster is famous for bicycles, the Peace of Westphalia, and one of Germany's most beautiful market squares — this tour takes you to all three.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Münster on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Crack clues at the Dominikanerkirche, the arcaded Prinzipalmarkt, and the imposing St. Paulus Dom — landmarks that span centuries of Westphalian history
• Set your own pace through the Old Town, stopping at coffee shops and cobbled lanes along the way
• Great for any group size — the app's scoring system makes it as competitive or as relaxed as you like
Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.
Around 2 hours - any group size.
Münster has 300,000 bicycles for 315,000 residents — you're walking, which already makes you unusual.
