The city is also served by Münster/Osnabrück Airport (FMO) and is conveniently located near Düsseldorf and Dortmund international airports.

Getting Around the City

Once in Münster, the most convenient ways to get around are by bike or bus. The compact layout also makes walking through the city easy and enjoyable.
