Studying in Münster: Why Münster is the cycling capital of Europe

The bicycle, also known as Leeze, is the most commonly used means of transport in Münster. More than 100,000 people cycle here every day, and there are twice as many bikes as there are residents, namely 500,000. So if you want to experience the real Münster feeling, you should get on your bike here.

As a student, you can't get anywhere without a bike. The individual student councils and lecture halls are often several kilometers apart. But no problem with the bike. Although all students have a semester ticket, you are much more mobile with the Leeze. Studying in Münster is therefore a pleasure for cyclists
