Holidaymakers looking for an ideal launch point for tours of the North Rhine-Westphalia region will find Steinfurt, Germany, suits perfectly. This town of nearly 35,000 residents is ideally situated for sightseeing in the entire region of “Munsterland”. The area is famous for its rivers and rich agricultural lands. Although relatively new as far as German cities go, Steinfurt does offer visitors a number of attractions. Perhaps its most unique draw is its castle, which still plays host to “royalty”.

Vacationers who select discount hotels in Steinfurt will find this city is home to the castle of Burgsteinfurt. This destination was constructed in the 1100s and still serves as an ancestral home for the politically powerless princes of Bentheim and Steinfurt. Beyond its living royalty, Steinfurt is home to the University of Applied Sciences Munster engineering campus, the Bagno Concert Gallery, which is considered Europe’s oldest, and the historic “old town” section. Nearby attractions include the Rhine and Ems rivers and the city of Munster.
