Salzstraße, Shopping street in Münster, Germany.
Salzstraße is a shopping street running roughly 550 meters through Münster's center, mixing department stores, fashion boutiques, and independent retailers. The street forms a continuous commercial zone where visitors find diverse shopping options side by side.
The street takes its name from medieval salt trade that moved through Münster as a key distribution center. This commercial purpose has persisted and keeps the street as the city's main shopping destination.
The street's name reflects its medieval salt trading past, and today local independent shops sit alongside major retailers. Visitors stroll and shop here in the same way people have for centuries.
The pedestrian zone connects well to multiple parking lots and public transportation stops throughout the city. Visitors can also find seating areas and easy access to cafes and restaurants along the way.
Many stores stay open until 8 PM, making evening shopping possible right in the city center. These extended hours set this street apart from other shopping areas in Münster.
