Anywhere Campers MünsterMünsterView map
Hiring a motorhome in Münster starts your trip in Westphalia's great university city, often described as Germany's cycling capital. It was in its town hall that the 1648 peace between Spain and the Dutch Republic, one of the treaties of the Peace of Westphalia, was sworn; nearby, the Prinzipalmarkt lines up its gabled houses and arcades, rebuilt after the war. Our partner company, Anywhere Campers, hands over its vehicles here.
Around the city, the Münsterland unfolds its farms and moated castles; to the north, the Dortmund-Ems Canal heads for the Tecklenburger Land, and to the west the Netherlands are about an hour's drive away.

Waymarked for cyclists, the 100 Castles Route can also be followed by campervan. The first stop, at the edge of the city, is Haus Rüschhaus, a baroque country house where the poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff lived. Lüdinghausen has two castles on the water, Lembeck a baroque estate and Raesfeld a Renaissance tower beside a former deer park. Anholt, right on the Dutch border, ends the loop with its gardens. Some residences close for works: check opening times.

To the west, the Baumberge hills around Nottuln supplied the pale sandstone of Münster's churches; in Billerbeck, a large neo-Gothic shrine honours Saint Ludger, who died there in 809. After Coesfeld, the Zwillbrocker Venn nature reserve near Vreden is home to a flamingo colony, the northernmost known. You then cross the border to Winterswijk, where the painter Mondrian grew up, before returning via Enschede.

Weather and seasons
When to go à Münster?
Best time
May to September
May to September
highs 19 to 24 °C, lows 9 to 14 °C
The mildest months, with long light evenings, suit short stages broken up by bike rides. July and August coincide with the school holidays: sites near the canals and lakes fill up faster. The next edition of Skulptur Projekte, an exhibition of sculpture in public space held in Münster every ten years, is expected in summer 2027.
March, April, October and November
March to April, October to November
highs 9 to 15 °C, lows 2 to 9 °C
Cool, changeable seasons, when the vehicle's heating is used every night. In spring and autumn, the Send, a large funfair set up on the castle square, livens up the city for a few days. Campsites are quiet and most castle parks reopen from April; check their opening hours before you set off.
Winter
December, January and February
December to February
highs 6 to 8 °C, lows 1 to 2 °C
A mild but dark winter, with about three hours of sunshine a day in December and January and regular rain. The Christmas markets in the old town draw crowds until the holidays; after that, Münster returns to calm. Choose a campsite open all year and a short loop, on lowland roads that rarely see snow.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
A single pick-up point
Anywhere Campers is our only partner company in Münster, with a depot in the city whose exact address and handover time appear in your confirmation. The main station, served by long-distance trains, and Münster Osnabrück Airport, in Greven, about 25 km to the north, make it easy to arrive without a car.
Cyclists everywhere in town
The Promenade, a tree-lined ring laid out on the former ramparts, is reserved for bikes and pedestrians, and many cycle streets, the Fahrradstraßen, only admit cars where a sign allows it. Behind the wheel of a motorhome, watch your blind spot when turning right, drive at walking pace and leave the vehicle outside the historic centre.
The A1, the A43 and the B54
The A1, which skirts the city to the east and south, heads for Osnabrück and Bremen to the north and Dortmund and Cologne to the south; the A43 runs down into the heart of the Ruhr. For the Netherlands, the B54 leads to Gronau and then Enschede. At rush hour, the ring road and the main radial roads quickly get busy.
A campsite on the Werse
For your first night, the city campsite lies to the south-east on the banks of the Werse, a small river where people paddle in summer, about twenty minutes from the centre by bike. There are also motorhome sites in the city: check their location, services and current rules before you arrive.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip à Münster
Where can I pick up a campervan in Münster?
Anywhere Campers, our partner company, hands over its campervans and motorhomes at its Münster depot, the only departure point for our offers in the city. The precise address and the handover slot are given in your booking confirmation; tell the company your arrival time, especially if you are coming by train or from Greven airport.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Münster?
The rate depends on the season, the rental period and the vehicle chosen, from a compact campervan to a roomier motorhome. Enter your dates in the search: it shows the real prices of the vehicles available in Münster, mandatory fees included, which you can book straight away. Summer weeks are the first to go.
Can I return the vehicle in Dortmund or Essen?
Dortmund and Essen, in the Ruhr, are also departure cities of our partner companies: a one-way trip south may therefore be possible, depending on the company and availability. Enter the return city in the search to see the relevant offers; any one-way fees are then included in the price shown.
What should I see in Münster before hitting the road?
St Paul's Cathedral and its sixteenth-century astronomical clock, then St Lambert's Church, whose tower still carries the cages in which the bodies of the Anabaptist leaders were displayed in 1536, can be explored on foot. The baroque palace, now the university's main building, Lake Aasee and the Picasso museum round off a day in town.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Münster
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Germany?
For a vehicle of up to 3.5 tonnes, the category covering most rental campervans and motorhomes, a category B licence is enough if it was issued in the European Union. Other licences sometimes need to be accompanied by an international driving permit or a translation. The minimum age and years of driving required are stated in each offer.
Do I need a vignette or pay tolls around Münster?
German motorways are free for leisure motorhomes, with no toll vignette. The cities of the Ruhr, from Dortmund to Essen, do however form a low-emission zone reserved for vehicles displaying the green sticker, which is normally already fitted to motorhomes rented in Germany. For Münster and other cities, check the rules in force.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in the Münsterland?
The region has many motorhome sites, often a stone's throw from a village centre, a castle or a canal, as well as family campsites among the farms. Spending the night elsewhere depends on local rules, and it is forbidden in nature reserves such as the Zwillbrocker Venn. In summer, arrive early at the most popular sites.
Can I drive to the Netherlands in a motorhome rented in Münster?
Yes: Enschede and Winterswijk are about 70 km away by road. First check in the offer conditions that the Netherlands are covered by the insurance. Once there, overnight parking of a motorhome outside campsites and authorised sites is generally forbidden: plan your stops in the Achterhoek or the Twente region.
Can I take bikes from Münster?
It is even recommended: the 100 Castles Route and the canal towpaths are best explored by bike from a motorhome site or campsite. Ask the rental company whether the vehicle can be fitted with a bike rack. Otherwise, the large bike station in front of the main railway station offers day rentals.
Which airport should I choose to reach Münster?
Münster Osnabrück Airport, in Greven, is the closest, but it mainly offers domestic flights and a few European connections. Dortmund and Düsseldorf airports offer many more destinations; from Düsseldorf, the train reaches Münster in about an hour and a half. Let Anywhere Campers know your arrival time.
When should I book a motorhome from Münster?
With only one partner company in the city, the choice shrinks quickly for July and August: book several months ahead, especially for a campervan with a large bed or a family model. The long weekends of Ascension and Whitsun are also in high demand. In spring and autumn, a few weeks ahead is usually enough.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Münster
Münster brings together everything you want from the first day of a trip: an old town to explore on foot or by bike, a main-line station, a nearby airport and motorways in every direction. As soon as you leave the city, the pace slows: moated castles, brick farmhouses and the Baumberge hills, then, less than an hour away, the canals and ridges of the north.
Anywhere Campers, our partner company, hands over its vehicles on site. Dortmund and Essen to the south, Warendorf to the east and Bad Essen to the north, other departure cities of our partner companies, offer further pick-up options. The nearby Dutch border adds a second culture to the journey, and from May to September Westphalia's mild climate favours long days outdoors.
