"Once part of the city’s defensive fortification, the “Promenade” is now a 4.5 k long “city-autobahn”, yet not for cars, but mainly for bikes and its kind defining downtown Münster these days. Flanked by trees, this is presumably the swiftest way to go around town. For those seeking the city's heartbeat, this is where you should search for it.
