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.

What to expect

Starting at Salzstraße, 48143 Münster, open the Explorial app and enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message to begin.

The route takes you through the compact and beautiful Old Town of Münster, a city famous for its cycling culture, its history, and the 1648 Peace of Westphalia. The first riddles guide you to the Dominikanerkirche, a medieval Dominican church that has served many purposes over the centuries and still stands at the heart of the city.

Next, the trail leads you to the Prinzipalmarkt, one of Germany's most beautiful market squares, lined with arcaded stone gables and watched over by the historic town hall where the Peace of Westphalia was signed.

From here, the app takes you to St. Paulus Dom, Münster's magnificent Romanesque cathedral, whose astronomical clock and medieval interior make it one of the city's essential stops.

Around 2 hours of walking, any group size. A fully charged smartphone with mobile data is required.
