With its historic district and lovely surroundings, Münster is one of Germany's most liveable cities. The city gets its youthful and relaxed atmosphere from the university and its 50,000 students. Münster is especially well-known for its early acceptance of bicycle traffic. The "Leeze", as the inhabitants of Münster refer to the bicycle, is the city's major form of transportation and a great way to explore this completely flat city. The equally flat area around the city of Münster is world-famous as the capital of equestrian sport.
