From cattle to grandeur
The Kuhviertel (literally, the Cow District) - once home to herdsmen, and later to rogues and crooks, with their own language of thieves - has morphed into the city’s entertainment and going-out district, centred around the Überwasserkirche. Here you’ll find many pubs and restaurants, while the evenings give you ample opportunity to enjoy the city’s nightlife.

In contrast, the Kreuzviertel (literally, the Cross District) exudes its own, very different charm.  Houses belonging to the well-to-do middle classes, who in the 19th century desired large, modern homes for their families, still characterise the Kreuzviertel to this day and lend this residential area near the city centre its charm.  Today you’ll find a colourful mix of people here, from academics and students to young families. The area also has much to offer in the way of cuisine... you’ll be surprised!  

During this tour you will learn something about the history and the architecture, and you will find out about the entertainment on offer in Münster. You will be able to try various different culinary specialities and uncover Münster's secrets.
