Münster Osnabrück Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Münster/Osnabrück Airport is located in Greven, almost halfway between the two cities that give it its name: about 25 km from Münster and 35 from Osnabrück. There are no hotels connected to the terminal, and the buses only reach the two city centers, with different travel times (25 minutes to Münster, 40 to Osnabrück): anyone with a dawn flight or one in the dead of night often prefers a taxi or a base with free parking along the motorway. Those with a few free hours can head to Osnabrück, which has better train connections to the rest of Germany, or to Münster for the old town.
