If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting St. -paulus-dom (münster), a respected church before you head out.

Maximize your last day in Germany and go on a shopping spree in Muenster’s shopping center, the lively Prinzipalmarkt. Browse for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful journey in Germany. Discover boutiques with stylish fashion choices to upgrade your wardrobe.

Before you conclude your road trip in Germany, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Muenster.

If you're in the mood to try something new, consider Cafe Extrablatt Münster, another top spot with a mouthwatering menu.

You’ll then say farewell to Muenster. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Germany!
